Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I had an idea of doing something to help the BTL people, by asking people to send donations to:

WGA Support Fund
Motion Picture & Television Fund
23388 Mullholland Drive
Woodland Hills, CA 91364

Donations by web: www.mptvfund.org
Donations by phone: 818-876-1900

And send me their receipts, which I'll enter in a raffle to win whatever signed scripts I can get my hands on through the end of January.

I'm just unsure of how many signed scripts I can get to help, and how fast. It won't be done in time for xmas unless I can get a good bunch by midweek.

Anyone have any organizational ideas? Or want to tell me this is whack?

I can't stop thinking about 40k spent on pencils when all these folks are out of work.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

My God - seriously, 40k? On the pencils?

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go you, Allyson - that's an entirely admirable undertaking.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Do you know anybody at the MPTV fund, Allyson? In my brain, if they had a way of easily separating out donations it'd help your admin time on it, like, a lot.

40k? On the pencils?

Dear doG, that's just criminal for publicity stunt. I mean, the BTL thing is one thing, but at Xmas, 40k to an LA food bank or something.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Well, on the plus side they're stopping collecting money. Uhm, soon.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I suppose there's the question of whether all the money that's been donated toward that would have been given if it were something less catchy like feeding the poor.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm just unsure of how many signed scripts I can get to help, and how fast. It won't be done in time for xmas unless I can get a good bunch by midweek.

I just called Rob to see if he (or any of the other VM folk) can help out. Actually, let me talk to my friend at Sarah Connor Chronicles to see if he can get something.

I'm sure that feeding people wouldn't have generated that kind of money but that's a totally different rant.

I think that there were a number ways that a fundraising drive could have been incredibly successful. (Maybe not $40k successful but definitely a good amount.) For whatever reason, that wasn't the direction they chose, which is disappointing.
