Annual Child's Play Charity Drive Begins

Posted by Zonk on from the from-one-geek-to-another dept.

Many, many thanks to the gentlemen at Penny Arcade for the kickoff of their now annual Child's Play Charity Drive. The drive is intended to hook up willing people in our community with children's hospitals across the country, to spread some geeky christmas love to young folks that need it. This year the drive extends across the country, and you can donate toys to hospitals in Seattle, Oakland, San Diego, Houston, and D.C.. Tycho has a little startup post on Penny Arcade, as well.

    "I didn't realize that children had a measurable value associated with them."

    Yup.
    +2 points if they havnt grown pubes yet
    +5 points if you make them bleed
    -3 points if they consent
    -10 points if you paid for it (either to them or to their parents)-- That takes the sport out of it.
    +5 if you get it on camera
    +5 if you post it on usenet.
