Stop Overty

For reasons largely connected with boredom I wandered onto this sanctimonious website, which grandly claims to be "putting pressure on the world's political leaders to keep their promises to help the poor". That's not before it dared to accuse me of not caring about world poverty.
But I didn't even have to read to be verbally assaulted in this fashion. Some surly oik's decidedly well-to-do voice mysteriously materialises unbidden to harangue the unwitting net-surfer with his pitiful plea. He is then succeeded by his female colleague, with whom I imagine he is immorally cohabiting, as is the fashion among this "compassionate" sort, who exhorts the visitor to spell Stop Poverty with one 'p'.
What good do these wretched people think this is doing anybody?
