Microsoft Australia have kicked off a charity campaign with the Make-A-Wish foundation where custom-painted 360s, adorned with the "likeness" of an "Australian celebrity", will be auctioned off for kids with cancer.

Good cause. Great cause, even. Shame about the celebrities and the craftsmanship. I'd love a Rusty Crowe 360, I think he's a perfect fit for the 360's brand identity, but the rest? Newsreaders, washed-up talkshow hosts and a swimming commentator? This wasn't thought through at all, as evidenced by the fact that only Jennifer Hawkin's face is on show, and not the rest of her.

My advice? If you miss out on the Rusty Crowe 360, head on over and donate straight to Make-A-Wish, because having a pink, autographed Kerri-Ann Kennerley 360 in your home is only going to invite trouble. Luke Plunkett
