Candidate C, I am a dying teenager with a few short months to live. I have not made many friends due to the confinements and entrapments of a debilitating disease. The only life I know is plastic tubes and metal syringes.
How are you going to make me feel like a human being today?

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Though I assume you are already familiar with those in case you aren't here's a quick summary.
Basically he says that traditional methods of fund-raising and running a charitable organization are seeing vastly diminished results from their cash-raising efforts and says that to be a successful organization you have to turn donors into activists and participants by building strong online communities.
Here's the question:
How do you plan to engage and activate the community - to make it work for Child's Play? We've seen some of this in Desert Bus and even here on the Penny Arcade forums where people who could have just given cash actually built a small community themselves and used it to raise far more money than an individual would have given on their own.
How do you plan to both make this easier and encourage this kind of activism for Child's Play and to make sure that it's legitimate and in the spirit of Play?
Remember, you don't have to think of everything, you just have to make it easy for your community to get together and participate and they will do the truly incredible work.
Candidate C,
Reaction time is a factor in this, so please answer as quickly as you can.
You are in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you come across a tortoise
You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun
It's beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help
But you're not helping
Candidate A. What are your plans for raising awareness of Child's Play for individuals that fall outside of Penny-Arcade?

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

CC, may I call you CC? Child's Play is currently not able to be reviewed at Charity Navigator because due to the type of charity it is, it is not required to submit certain tax forms they use for their review, and apparently do not do so. Would you change this?
Candidate C, to follow on from my previous post. I'm interested in helping Child's Play. I don't have a lot of money to give and even though I know every donation counts, I want to give more than my finances will allow me to at the moment.
How can I participate in Child's Play to help raise awareness, incite others to help and/or donate and to help Child's Play grow long term?
Candidate C, please detail, in 20 lines or less, your entire educational background as well as any certifications or other noteworthy experience you can bring to this position.

Hi, Munkus Beaver!
What I'd really like to do is show you that you're not alone -- that no matter how isolated you feel, and how isolated physically you are, there are people out there who share your hobbies and passions, and would love to get to know you. How about trying a multiplayer game that fits a genre you enjoy (might something like WoW be up your alley?) and connecting with some folks to play with? The world you're able to explore irl may be limited, but that doesn't mean you can't explore and make new friends.

How do you feel about Seth Godin's views on charitable organizations and how they should avoid trying to be like corporations.
You can get a good feel for his ideas in this interview

and from his blog here

Do you have big, muscly arms? Will you wrap them around me?
Look...

Why is that, Candidate C?
Do you have any previous experience working for a charity organization?
Also, in 3 sentences describe where we would go on our first date and what we would do.

I've heard there is a cooking challenge involved here.
Is this really all a rouse by Khoo to get lunch?
