I don't quite get this blogging business

You did your part, so I’m holding up my end of the deal. I am donating $20.00 to American Red Cross via AT&T’s help haiti by text. That photo may get $90,000 of reblogs, but seriously, I am not made of money. At least I am doing what I can. I know the haters are going to be wanting proof, so here you go. yeah yeah it says $10, but I charged twice.

Alright, I guess I’m a hater and all, but if you’re “not made of money” and can’t cover the donations of the number of reblogs, then don’t make the post.  Not only that, but .20/50 reblogs is pretty weak anyway. If you really cared, you’d just go donate, not attempt to cultivate popularity and hog up some attention for being such a splendid humanitarian. I’m glad you donated twenty bucks and all, but there’s a lot of people out there donating more who aren’t making it a tumblicity stunt. It is one of the greatest tragedies of our generation and not only do you somehow make it about you, but then you back out of your promise. Weak.
Oh, and deleting your post, doesn’t make the reblogs go away.
