Let's face it, the only people who really feel comfortable walking around with red noses are clowns and alcoholics. Presuming you're not one of either, we can see why you might be a bit reluctant to buy a Red Nose to support Comic Relief this Friday (13th March).
Which would be a shame, because since its launch on Christmas Day in 1985, a total of £420 million has been raised through Red Nose Days. They have involved millions of supporters, and some of the biggest names in UK music and entertainment such as Girls Aloud, Ricky Gervais, Graham Norton, and Lenny Henry. The money raised has been channeled into life changing initiatives across Africa and the UK.
Luckily, those clever chaps have now come up with a way of letting you display your red nose virtually, thus saving you the public humiliation. Just go to http://www.digitalrednose.com/, and you'll be able to make a personalised Red Nose pic that you can upload to the social networking site of your choice. Even if you don't have a Facebook profile, you can still email the pic to family or friends. Clever eh? Who nose what they'll come up with next...
