What's Making Us Laugh

In the spirit of Seinfeld’s George Costanza , a new website allows you to “give the gift of giving, without really giving.”

According to www.care4less.org: “Times are tough but you don’t want to be ‘that person’ and not buy someone a present this year. So why not donate to a fake charity on behalf of a friend as their gift.... After all, it’s better to give than to receive. And the best part, it won’t cost you a cent!”

The site has eight fictitious charitites to choose from including:

•  Adopt-A-Banker

•  Make-A-Sandwich Foundation

•  Fathers 4 Mosquitos

•  Organ Donation (as in – to go with a church choir!)

 

Pick one, donate a fake amount and they’ll get an email telling them of your good deed.

In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, this site has “a certain understated stupidity”.
