Well, except for the fact that Regretsy doesn't make money off these artists. In fact, we don't make anything on the whole web site. We don't get one penny of the ad revenue. Anything we make on T-shirts goes to charity. So yeah, we're assholes. I used to like you better too. Don't let the virtual door hit you on the way out.

The artist makes money. So far the only thing Helen has actively promoted (in an effort to raise money) are things that benefit charities. Does that actually bother you somehow, or are you just fishing for things to bitch about at this point?

Regretsy is just an Etsy wannabe. The similarities are just too ironic. Etsy features it's favorites and promotes the hell out of them to make money....Regretsy picks their favorites and promotes the hell out of them to make money. On Etsy, if something is popular, people jump on the bandwagon and try to make a buck off it. ON Regretsy, if something is popular people jump on the bandwagon and try to make a buck off it. I liked both of them much better when they were young and... Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

Helena Handbasket, you're right, it's on the left. I must have been anticipating Chanukkah. 2. Night Cowl, I'm talking about an actual paying job, to provide artwork for the book. I thought it would be fitting to have Etsy artists get those jobs. The content itself will still be real things chosen off Etsy. 3. STFU

Thank goodness I have an equally disturbed brother.), and am thrilled our snarkiness goes to good causes, but I don't see the running total on the right sidebar that you referenced. How can we feel all smug if we can't see evidence of our wholly selfless deeds? Helen: I’ve bought my t-shirt (…and notecards, to boot!

I believe the good art will NOT be mocked with commentary, whereas the classic Regrettable Regretsy items will be mocked in standard, merciless fashion? At least I think that's what the plan was back when the book was announced? Of course I may have dreamed it. So I think it's a-ok, Night Cowl :)

Now you're asking people to specifically make crap to go in your lame book?
