You know those annoying things where people are like

"OOh put your address here and send $1 to the people on the list and in two weeks you'll be richer than bill gates!!! Just post this to 8,000,000 message boards!!"

Well, now there's one going around that tries to connect itself to hurricane Katrina supposedly as some kind of fund raiser. Is this not the most blatant scam you've ever heard of? Why would I send $1 to the 5 people on the list? If anything I'd give money to the red cross or another charity instead of some random person!

So yeah, the people who do those are either too stupid to figure out how to donate money other ways or they're greedy enough to try to profit from this tragedy.

Discuss.

It just shows how money hungry some people can be. They take a bunch of peoples suffering and use it just for profit for themselves. It's sickening.

Terrible as it may be, the funny part is there's probably someone who sent them money.

MMm...That's not funny, that's sad. Sometimes I feel sorry for all the people who are dumb like that.

Those people are just pathetic. I think people were doing something like this after the asian tsunami. It's totally sickening.

the suffering of thousands at the cost of one person being greedy.... really that is sad.

I wish those people could think about it if they were in that situation themselves.... would they like it if people did that to them?

My mom's friend's son's friends were in Louisiana during the hurricane, and apparently people were breaking into the hotel, shooting people, and stealing their money. So that's what "tourists targetted" meant..

That's just so..wrong. I can't even imagine being there now, walking through streets with dead bodies floating nearby. And not even from drowning, but from being murdered.

It sounds like New Orleands has kinda gone from being a great city to like third world in a very short space of time. It's so very sad.
