Is that after Bing messed up their Twitter campaign to increase their hit rates all for the massive sum of $100k. whoever thought that was good idea needs their brain examined.

On the flip side - here's how to do it right. CEO of Uniqlo has given $12m out of his own pocket and the firm is providing $8.6m worth clothing to shelters: http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/uni ... apan/25198

maybe "I made it motherfucker-san"...

how does one go about donating to the Japan Red Cross? Sounds like they have yet to ask for assistance from the U.S. Red Cross. Am i wrong to think that donating to our Red Cross doesn't really do much until Japan Red Cross asks for assistance?... if you notice (as Kirkland said, Microsoft) as well as other large corporations are making contributions to Japan Red Cross

edit.

Rhinomilk found a way to donate directly to the Japanese Red Cross.

If you go to the Red Cross site to donate, you can earmark your donation for Japan.

I didn't want to get into this (and still don't) b/c I don't want to discourage acts of kindness. But I recall after 9/11 Red Cross changed their donation rules to state that funds could not be EARMARKED for specific events b/c it made some people (9/11 victims) millionaires and left the Red Cross broke when it came to other areas of need.

Grumble toy are donating 100% of the sales on selected GT exclusives to the Canadian red cross for the next 3 days.

^^^ Thanks for posting.

This is the link of the page I found:
https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/donate.aspx?EventID=66175&LangPref=en-CA&Referrer=http%3a%2f%2fwww.redcross.ca%2farticle.asp%3fid%3d38380%26tid%3d001#donatehere
It appears to be earmarked, but if not the Canadian Red Cross is involved in evacuations, so I think it's still worth it.

Okay, just do nothing then.

You can always donate through the Japan Society.

That's the route I took, seeing as I'm always dubious of Red Cross, I know loads of people who work in the charity sector and have never heard a good thing about them.

Gargamel just put this up: http://blog.livedoor.jp/gargamel/

"Mitari-chan" on the left "Mitari-chan (Obake Ver.)" ￥1500 each => all supporting earthquake victims.

I'll definitely pick one of these up to help out. Can we do a mass order from the board? I can't read Japanese unfortunately.

I've put in my order with the aid of the google translator. It was cumbersome, but I went through with the Paypal payment and all that.
Well worth it, as I believe all the moneys will go to those in need in Japan.

If someone can put together a group order, that would be rad.

Yeah, enjoy your karma USA.
The Fukushima reactors were built by GEC, btw.

Oh, and:

Speaking of this karmic retribution bull shit.

The outspoken governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, told reporters Monday that the disaster was "punishment from heaven" because Japanese have become greedy.

From Yahoo news

Now, now Alice, no need for the finger pointing. Some of those reactors were built by Toshiba, no?

And in any case, if this fallout scenario doesn't work out, Toshiba/Westinghouse are working on a couple of these beauties for the Texas Gulf coast: http://www.gregpalast.com/no-bs-info-on ... yer-funds/
I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

A group order would be great, i'm having major trouble with the website!

Why not?
Somehow I think there's going to be a lot of it when this is all over.

I mean:
"Hey! Let's build a Nuclear Plant in a place where three fault lines meet!"
"Lol, okay!"

And you know why the cooling systems failed?
Because the quake cut off the electricity!
Like, OMG!
WE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!!

Brb; pustules.

And I know you've seen it, but ...







Japan is now suffering it's worst shortage of lolis since 1945 ...

Please give watever you can.

i find this hard to believe.

Obviously you don't listen to alex jones enough.
