      Seems well-intentioned and sweet.

      Obviously an exploitative publicity stunt.

So, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and some other random celebrities I've never heard of hit up the Peds hospital at Tufts to promote the all-ladies remake of Ghostbusters.

Apparently a bunch of people are really pissed, mainly saying its exploiting children who have never heard of Ghostbusters and obviously don't give a flying fart.

Yay?

People Are Attacking This Hospital's Facebook After The Female Ghostbusters Came To Visit - BuzzFeed News

We get celebs all the time at our children's hospital. They are accompanied by a handler- who makes certain they do not bother kids who do not want/ need to be bothered.

But the one celeb you seldom see photographed with our kids (except by the kids' own families) is a guy who comes around and doesn't WANT any publicity for himself. I'll give you a hint. The children's hospital is named after him, won a Superbowl, 6'5", laser-rocket arm, #18, brother is QB for the Giants.......

Yeah, I don't get the big deal. Check out the facebook page of the better known pediatric hospital in Boston. It's full of pictures of Red Sox and Patriots players and other celebrities and no negative comments. I saw Pablo Sandoval (our 3rd baseman) there last week. Mike Napoli hung out in a playroom a few weeks ago and Rob Gronkowski was around another day in recent history.

And to those complaining about the photos, just FYI those were probably taken by the HOSPITAL's PR department, not by anyone who has anything to do the actresses themselves. There's always someone from the hospital who's taking these celebs around, telling them where to go and taking the pictures that will then be posted on facebook, with the parents' permission.

adventure_rn, do you make all of these? If so, I vote you post a new one weekly!

Since Ryan Gosling isn't really your type, I made these just for you, Far.

Bwhwhwhwhwhwhwhwhwhaaaa!!!!

So CHEESY!

Thank you.

Doing good and self promotion are not mutually exclusive. Look at all of the millions given to charity by celebs. The fact that they publicize it doesn't make the blankets and soup any less warm.

Agreed!

Oh, oh, I also like Jaime from Game of Thrones- long hair, bearded Jaime. (I feel as if I'm ordering a pizza...)

And since someone else started it...

He had a children's hospital banned after him? I didn't know that.

Good guy that Peyton.

And he's OURS. Don't touch.

If you could do one for me, with Chris Cornell or Terrence Howard, I'd be much obliged.

So... Back to those pediatric patients...
