fourfourtwo Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Why not donate this money to an animal shelter, charity or a homeless shelter? This is pissing money away and you could actually be helping out an important cause. I agree with her and I hate to be kind of a downer but this shit is stupid. Imagine how much $25 can buy a child in a third world country or supplies such as bleach and towels at an animal shelter and instead... you're getting a potato salad hat.

imaxcowboyx Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 ...and I hate to be kind of a downer but... HERE GOES ANYWAYS. don't worry though; fourfourtwo hates his actions as much as donators should hate theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Nobody is saying potato salad guy can't have a little fun. We're just saying that when your little joke goes viral you're no longer entitled to anything and the right thing to do is to forfeit everything you've got. If he doesn't give everything away he is obviously a heartless discriminatory bigot because Internet. seangj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 On mobile, so I can't quote. But I agree with Zephyrson. Dude had his fun, now he should put the money to some good use. Also, I would love some potato salad right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I hope at least some of this money does go to a charity. The last I read he was going to throw some big party to get people to watch him make the potato salad. That would be shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I was being sarcastic. He made the joke and it blew up. He can do whatever he wants with the money! Good for him if he does something positive with it but keeping it does not make him terrible. I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It would be an insane dick move to keep the money. Just because people are stupid enough to pledge money to a fucking potato salad doesn't mean he has any right to the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Avatar Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 He has the right to the money if he wants it. It is pretty clear exactly what is happening with the money in the kickstarter and he has not taken advantage or prayed on anyones weakness. If I was in his situation I'd probably keep like 10%, make all the potato salad, and donate the rest to an organization that could use it.

He sure does, and everything else you mentioned would be perfectly fine with me. Except personally I'd make some Mac 'n' Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm honestly encouraged by this. My Volunteer Fire Company is facing a $20k deficit this year in the repairs we need to make. We have to raise the funds ourselves. One house in my town already closed for this reason. I look at this and I'm thinking we just need to have some fun and get a little lucky along the way. I haven't been a fan of Kickstarter but for a bunch of full time working guys who now need to quadruple our annual fundraising efforts on top of all our volunteer time this might be a way to a quick $500-$1000. Doesn't look like a lot of money but it's hard for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like a lot of money but it's hard for us. It's definitely worth a shot. Throw one up and you might be surprised at how many people are willing to help. If you do, I'll throw something your way for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticgoat Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm a bit late on this bandwagon, but this reminds me of a kickstarter a while back where a guy just wanted $8 for a chipotle burrito and got like $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
