Let's Rap About Disaster

So, if you're not that hip, let me fill you in: There's been a bit of a ruckus down Haiti way.
Now, while I understand that there's a war going on between the camps of Leno and O'Brien right now, but there are also other things-- admittedly things that don't actually effect out lives-- going on in the world. Namely, the fact that somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 Haitians are dead due to an earthquake.
So, with that said, I realize that you can't possibly change the course of events such as these.
There are certainly not five ways that you can help relieve Haiti. And it is not as easy as texting the number 90999 with the word "HAITI." Nope they're doomed. Thank God they live on the other side of the world, otherwise I might feel guilty.
There is also very little documentation of this event. It is only in still photography, as well, and not in any sort of important medium like videos of sparkling wine being poured on women's asses or in haul videos. It is not even in 3d. Or on ice. It isn't even like there is a way to help these people without giving your hard earned double-dollars.
What I really want to talk about is the Blu-ray release of Thundercats. Will it have critical commentary by creators Ted Wolf and Rankin Bass? Who knows? Let us discuss this important and life changing products affect on our lives.

i bet it's several thousand dollars :P
edit oh weird as soon as I posted that my lavasoft popped up saying DONATE TO HAITI
geez lord i already did get off my back
i'm not a rich fellow and i can definitely donate time
But I'm thinking in the grand scheme of things, I can pay it back later, the people down there cannot.
Also, it's nice that the bankers / wall street jackoffs awarded themselves $47 BILLION in bonuses this year.
For doing... virtually nothing.
What I'm saying is don't be one of these assholes who say "Oh, I'll give when I've got it. When I'm rich I'll give so much money to charity." No. Fuck you. Give now. Give what you can. Give it while you're a broke-ass mother fucker. It doesn't matter. Just do want you can and move on. You're not going to hurt because you gave five bucks to a disaster zone.
Then again, you can buy a dual pack of Transformers and Revenge of the Fallen for only forty dollars!
And those were some quality, life-affirming works of art.
I mean, part of me wonders what difference £15 would even make, but if everyone in the UK donated that kind of money you'd be looking at almost a billion. So. Better than nothing I guess.
how can you turn it down at that price?
I don't know anything, man. I just don't give a fuck about what Leno is doing with his life.
only when theres some kind of disaster and its on the tv tho because
Ok I'll spend all my money on manhookers then.
Good ones, too! Not cheap ones like Raneabuttface
dang
truly the worst of the bandwagons
it's a fact
they reap what they sow, people
i donated a hundo, and thanks for the linx
just came off as smug i guess
(i picked the bill clinton thing)
I love that the Yahoo article links to a smug Youtube hella rockin' remix of the Pat Robertson comments.
Classy reporting, Yahoo.
he wants to be in you
amazingly, being mean to me is not the best way to accomplish this!
seriously, it is a backwards and primitive statement not suited to the aughties+
anyways yeah i'm gonna donate some money.
I don't know why people assume this.
I can assure you the people I am very mean to is not out of desire.
If you think it is, you people have some screwed up relationships.
But I jest Rane.
Lets talk about something cool.
I am open to ideas.
Granted, my net worth was fifty dollars.
But shit, five bucks is about what I spend on food in a week. Give what you can, dudes and ladies.
Fuck.
It's Obama's fault.
it's how he plays his saxa-ma-phone like those fancy african hooligans

spanking yes/no

in short: they're afraid of Mad cow disease
Who said it had to be your blood
Just bring them a few bags and slip 'em a fiver to look the other way
