telethon

a televised donor call-in event wherein the sponsors keep 75% of the proceeds to line their own pockets, 20% is allocated for administrative costs, and the remaining 5% is given to the charity in question

Dude, I don't have cable and there's nothing on network TV tonight except this fuckin' telethon.

telethon

An endless phone conversation (a portmanteau of telephone + marathon).

My daughter was having a telethon with her boyfriend so I couldn't make a call for hours.

Telethon Boy

Yet another nickname for George W. Bush (because of his resemblance to those stuttering retarded kids on those telethons for the disabled).

"Please help, c-c-call now"
Telethon Boy is on TV again; I really hope they find a cure for whatever he has.
