I hate to say it, but "I TOLD YOU SO!"
So far, as of today, they're still $800,000 short of their goal. Problems? Little advertisement beforehand, and a $10 donation limit. No tweet idea? Failure. The general public it hard-pressed enough as it is, but asking everyone to spend $10 on something that they could spend on food or gas is too much. I don't even have $10 to put in my gas tank, and pray every day that I can get to where I need to be on as little gas as possible. Suddenly "killing" your internet self and asking $10 from each person to be revived is not all that intelligent. Looks like people DO have some common sense. They're not going to give their food money to those with AIDS, who, unfortunately, are going to die anyway. Some people are selfish; others, like my family, really do need that money.
Just as predicted by me, the whole idea has been a huge flop. Poor things. Should've had a massive bake sale -- that would have produced more results, I think ;)
