and, ponyboy.. don't jump on us when our first thought is to subversively comment on something that looks too good to be true. we come from a generation fucked over too many times to trust corporations on a first date.
Some of us would just rather donate cash than take part in somebody's ad campaign.rafalski

fair 'nuff, rafalski... the majority of commentary in this thread isn't from folks who've been 'screwed over' by corporations... the majority are TOO YOUNG to have dealt with that... and second... the Corpo's doing this 'work' aren't BAD... are they?! Are there articles depicting Gap's slave labour out there that I haven't seen?... or for Apple or Motorola etc?? It's not like Haliburton or Lockhead Martin rocking some new 'red' anti-aircraft guns etc etc...... these are everyday companies w/everyday products that WE ALL SELFISHLY BUY... we are their food... and they are ours... they're NOT some evil scary corporations that have screwed over the masses...
... in fact, I usually hear nothing but praise for these companies on NT... ESPECIALLY APPLE and they are barely giving any of their profits.
This is A GOOD IDEA AND A GOOD CHARITY put together by bono and DATA... and I'm sure many other people... they then brought these companies THAT AFFECT ALL OUR LIVES and that we all buy from... on-board to help bring about some serious awareness...
... from what I've gathered from this thread - the majority of you could care less about buying something that goes to helping people w/Aids if it doesn't 'fit in' w/your social well-being.
