Remember Screech from Saved by the Bell? Well, his (Dustin Diamond) house is being foreclosed, so he is selling shirts & bricks to get the money.
Check it out.
Personally, I think it's pretty pathetic. There is no way I would every support this. I mean, there are so many worth while causes out there. Instead of paying $15 for a tshirt saying "I paid $15 to save Screeeches House" (Yes, I know there are three e's in that- it's his way of getting around copyrights.) I would much rather pay $15 and donate it to finding a cure for cancer, or trying to save Everwood. (By the way, that's a cause I support!)
At his site he talks about how they screw the working man over. I'm sorry, if he's a "working man" why is he asking for our money? I mean, I understand that money gets tight. But he's just working as a comedian. If that's not paying the bills, maybe he should get a real job. The working man has to, so why shouldn't he?
In closing, shit happens. Money gets tight. It happens to most people. The difference is that most people don't ask someone to buy a brick of their home for $1,000 or pay $20 for an autographed t-shirt.
I may add, that I think his idea is ingenius. It's capitalism. He's smart for coming up with this idea, but perhaps he should take some of that brain and creativity and take it to go find a job to pay his own bills.
What do you think?
