ATTENTION WHORES!

Hello Attention Whores!

I wanted to let you douchelings know that you just helped cancer survivor Drea raise over $2800 for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

Drea’s goal was $1000 when she started a thread on Etsy looking for help. Fortunately, a bunch of super professional sellers were able to take time out of their busy schedules of not selling anything to rip her a new asshole, and that’s where you came in!

You people kicked in over $1500 in auction proceeds, book royalties and direct donations. You should be ashamed! Or as they say in the Etsy forums . . .

I hope you’re all suitably embarrassed by your kindness and generosity. I know I am. Or I would be, if I wasn’t such a whore! La la la la!

But just in case you aren’t done humiliating yourself, take a look at this:

Drea has put together an amazing basket of Regretsy-inspired crapola that is now on Ebay, and will only be on Ebay for 24 hours. It’s so chock full of fuckery that it makes me want to hang mermaid clips on my nipples and upcyclce some sweatpants.

Here’s who donated handmade objects for this auction:

Hi Bird
Razberries Designs
Morticia Snow
Jazz Elwood
Yummy Pancake
Scrumptious Delight
Cappy Sue
Absolutely Small
Drea Bunny

That’s right – they sat down and painted, crocheted, embroidered or otherwise created products to sell for this effort. Oh sure, it’s more productive to sit around all day, coming up with new ways to say “poo-poo”, but we can’t all be front page material!

Click here for the Ebay auction, and bid on a steaming pile of craft!

SAD NEWS

The deadbeat ass bag who won the Regretsy Cut-Out Cat earrings on 5/24 has skipped out on the deal. I will never understand people who win charity auctions and then just blow off their promise, but that’s between them and Cthulhu.

I’ve already advanced the $71 to Drea’s fund, so this actually gives us an opportunity to raise even more money. Let’s turn this into a positive.

Send me your best offer on these earrings via email by midnight tonight (PST), and I’ll send them to the highest bidder. You can donate directly to Drea’s fund if you like, and as soon as you’ve paid, I’ll throw the earrings in the mail for you.

Happy bidding!

    Cool! Good luck, Drea!
    Why would someone bid and not pay? Maybe it was “some idiot”…those earrings are cute, I am sure they will find a good home :-)

    Clearly, this reneging cockmonkey wanted the good feeling of doing charity without the actual doing of charity. I say we hunt this person down and publicly shame them by making them pose for Etsy photos with poorly-made crafts and badly-written descriptions.

    #41 3InReverse : Many people do not know, unless they have had the privelage to work in health care, that their are sliding fees and free help right at the hospital. ASK.ASK.ASK. Their should also be help available through the State or County for those not eligible for a medicare or medicaid program. It is usually located at your County Courthouse and is usually called county relief or something to that nature. If you keep asking people from different depts. in the Court House they can get you

    43 cont. or call your local Department of Human Services or CPS whatever your State calls it. I worked for the DHS here and the County, anyhoo in our State you have to travel to Iowa City to get the free surgery if you are income eligible. Also, while I am on a roll, if you are elderly, disabled and recieve any government assitance you are eligible for a discount on your phone as well. The lady at the Court house, Lois L., hated me when I found that out and had 30 people calling her in one day
