Operation Help the Fucking Kids

In Monday's paper there was an article on a new charity that buys presents for kids that sent letters sent to Santa via the post office. It is a pretty cool idea, but obviously easily manipulated. My first thought was how many adults are going to read this and then send in a letter requesting stuff for themselves. I went down to the Post Office to help out. They let you choose 6 letters and pick any or all of the ones you want to fulfill.


The first little girl was asking for cash. The next one was from a 6 year old with perfect penmanship. He needed a camcorder, iPod, PS2, PS3, PSP, 10 shares of Google, a Mariott TimeShare, a Mitsubishi Galant, and a 10,000 muni-bond wired to his Cayman account. I am obviously kidding, but one kid had over $1,000 worth of stuff. I did see a Camcorder, a Computer, and every game console imaginable.

Anyway, I picked up two letters. That is all I could afford. They both seemed legit. All in all, it looked like a good charity. You just need to filter the b.s.

By the way, whoever put in the Fuzzy Crap comment in the last blog is classic.
