Re: Last didn't say anything shitty
[quote name="fabio"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I don't think fabio was saying that she SHOULD have gone down to the local public access station to film, but that the videos LOOK like she did.[/quote] Worm said it before me: anyone actually having good intentions for a cause like this should be overjoyed at the fortune of the windfall they just received and value every dollar from supporters. What she did was undertake a project requiring 10 hours (at most) of research time <i>spread out over months</i>, blow thousands of dollars on research material easily available for free, then arranged it into a video package easily reproduced by free public resources within her ridiculously long time table for a project with no deadline. When you're already proud of publishing a big "fuck you" photo op monument to grossly mismanaged funds, not taking a minimal effort to sign out free equipment from a local station for a talking head video that couldn't have taken more than 2 hours to shoot is the icing on the not giving a fuck cake. There isn't a single aspect of her effort that calls for the kind of money she asked for or spent. Every expenditure was on something easily available for nothing. She may not have asked for $100k, but she's sure spending it like she did. Usually you see this kind of minimal - keep the fundraising going - effort from established non-profits who have grown bloated and lazy over time. This is how she <b>started</b>. [/quote]
