I watched Ellen faithfully and told my friends to watch her instead of the other show, then last year at this time we wrote and called almost begging for a tee shirt signed by Ellen for our party to make money for breast cancer, we were never acknowledged in any way I feel that this was way more important than some of the things you have on the show and a tee shirt compared to a car or tv such a small request and not even a no we can't help you out,this year we are again having our party but we will not ask for a donation but we no longer watch the show, I was so dissapointed. Hope Ellen does well in her new job with Idol.
