UPDATE: Hope For Haiti Now

January 22nd, 2010 // 146 Comments

Typically the top post of the day is reserved for the hottest pics, but today I’m donating it to George Clooney’s Hope For Haiti Now because he’s my hero. And not just because he Tiger Woods’d his way through cocktail waitresses way before Tiger even considered the possibility golf would get him laid. And did it. But, seriously, the Clooney’s doing a good thing here with some assistance from Robert Pattinson, Taylor Swift and other celebs who I’m going to make snappy comments about on Twitter because it’s the only way I know how to love.

So, please, donate what you can by clicking the image above and feel free to follow me tonight on Twitter as I live-tweet Hope for Haiti Now starting at 8 PM EST.

DONATE TO HOPE FOR HAITI NOW

Follow THE SUPERFICIAL on TWITTER

UPDATE: Hope for Haiti Now has reportedly raked in $58 million as of this update, so huge thanks to everyone who kicked in. Also, Simon Owens of Bloggasm.com has brought to my attention international non-profit organization CARE who’ve been in Haiti since 1954, so they have the infrastructure to immediately put funds to use. < http://www.care.org/haiti>

Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

    I’m sorry but they already raised enough money to buy like 17 Haiti’s. The only thing that George Clooney’s special is doing is ruining my Friday night television viewing. Even HBO and Showtime are showing this crap. Putting a telethon on every single channel does not make me want to give, it makes me want to punch Batman in the face.

    this reminds me of a video not long ago on youtube with alicia keys asking for money for some charity… at least 90% of the first 100s comments were very negative, then, comments went up to a few 1000 and still a lot of negative comments and eventually they were disabled… so…

    Unfortunately, most of the money raised will end up in the hands to the thieves that run the country. The US has already sent $3 Billion to Haiti and most people still live in squalor.

    So give, if you’d like to see a new palace built and Swiss bank accounts filled.

    Me da mucha pena leer los comentarios escritos. Todo el mundo está apoyando para tratar de reconstruir Haiti. La gente lo ha perdido todo. Me imagino que si una castastrofe tan grande azotara su pais y su situación económica fuera un desastre, el mio, aunque sea del “tercer mundo” donaria algo para que esten mejor. Me imagino que como Estados Unidos es un pais con una economia envidiable, muchas personas no se ponen en los zapatos de los mas dañados, celebremos a aquellas personas que si lo hacen y que hacen que su pais no sea una bloque completo de gente carente de sensibilidad y respeto. Es hora de apoyar, no de criticar.

    Casualties from the 2004 Indian tsunami: 355,000. Did they beg for help because they couldn’t help themselves? No.

    Casualties from the 2005 Kashmir earthquake: 180,000. Did they expect the international community to help them get up on their feet? No.

    Contrast this to the first few days of the Haitian earthquake, where survivors were building roadblocks made of stone and decomposing bodies because aid was ‘late’, delaying access to the center of the capital. Furthermore, that they had the ‘right’ to it. That they ‘absolutely need’ outside help, because as a people, they cannot survive on their own.

    And even as aid arrived, these subhumans couldn’t figure out what to do with the food packets. MREs (Meal Ready to Eat) packages were stared and contemplated upon by these dumbasses because not one of them thought to open them to see beef jerky and chocolate bars!

    They’re an insult to what we have built as humanity, to perseverance and true grit in times of hardship. As for all you carebears out there, throw in your genetic lot with these unworthy specimens of our species.

    We’re better off without you taking our food and water. Kthxbye.

    @35, you’re an idiot.

    That tsunami got huge support all over the world. In fact, it got the exact same coverage as the Haiti quake. Yes, there was a telethon almost exactly like the one tonight, full of celebrities and what not.

    You’re right about the Kashmir quake in a way, it did not get enough coverage as it should have, and that is due to its relative close proximity in time to the tsunami which dwarfed it.

    In this case, the reason why they are making such a big fuss about this in the news, is because the entire world is watching that country now. And with that level of coverage, a real change can be done. With enough money they’ll not only be able to rebuild what they lost, but surpass that in a huge way, taking them from a third world to a safe and stable country that can grow with the world. This is what makes this relief effort so exciting.

    In closing, if you don’t support this relief effort, just shut the fuck up, it will make the world a happier place.

    Ha. Give money to Haiti? You kidding me? This bullshit is worse than Katrina. Do you think there would be a different reaction if the victims were white? There would be – no help at all.

    If we gave 10 gazillion dollars to Haiti they’d rebuild a society of gangbangers and thugs while the truly good people there would remain in fear.

    These artists and the superficial writer bitching about this need to get a life. Every fucking channel on tv is full of blubbering vaginas… Boo hoo. We have millions here in the us living in poverty yet I need to give money to Haiti?

    @40. Right on. Couldn’t have been better said. Got forbid these fat, lazy fucks miss an episode of “Two & A Half Men” so we can help some people in true need. No wonder the rest of the world hates America. It’d be interesting to see how many of these assholes would be begging for help should disaster strike them unexpectedly. Lord knows the Red Bull and Doritos they have at home don’t qualify for rations and half of them are way too inept to survive on their own in a real emergency. Do us a favor and tear your balls of now so you spare the world of reproducing your worthless, pathetic DNA. Your parents, and America, will thank you.

    Case and point: South Korea after the Korean War. A wreck. Totally devastated. Fast forward to 40 years later and they gave us Samsung phones! And hot cars! Point is, people that work hard on their own like that with out any outside incentives deserve our applause and respect. That’s the model we should look up to.

    Now give Haitians, what more than $1billion now (worth 1/7 of their entire GDP) and what do you get? Nothing. Just a whole lot of the newest trend of designer adopted babies, AIDS, and sheer laziness. Give them generations and they will not rise above and beyond.

    They are the ones that destroyed their country by mass deforestation. If you look at satellite pictures in space, you will see that their neighbor (The Dominican Republic) is lush in forest and resources because they UNDERSTOOD the need to preserve their land and protect what little they have of their island from mudslides, etc.

    Haitians are like their dumb autistic brothers: they are dependent on everyone for the rest of their existence. Not only that, they are also adamant on receiving aid because they are lazy fucks who cannot even manage to live off the land for even two weeks to forage for food. This is where your money goes folks!

    They need to die. More air for everyone else.

    To all the celebrities who put on this ridiculous telethon, how about donating to the poor and middle class Americans who constantly get screwed from the big corporate fat cats and the government? Put all the celebrities salaries together and it would equal a few billion dollars or better…wonder how much they donated? George Clooney makes me wanna puke! Julia Roberts, what a horse face bitch!!!! Madonna….why don’t you die already your f’ing traitor!!!

    Phuck’em all i say!!!! Keep the money in America, let’s resolve our own problems. Because there is no organization in this relief effort in Haiti its still chaotic 10 days later, you all know we will get blamed for the disorganized relief efforts! We can never win world wide opinons no matter how good our intnetions are. George Washinton was right, do not get involved in affairs abroad!

    @45. You’re a fucking retard. If we hadn’t fully subsidized and stood behind South Korea, to check the spread of communism, they’d be as bad off as the rest of the third world shit hole Asian countries out there.

    @46. You’re also fucking retarded. If you don’t like what’s on TV, turn it off and go for a run fat ass. Most Americans put themselves in that position because they spend every last cent they make, or steal from welfare, and have no idea how to save a buck. Then when shit goes bad, of course it’s not their fault because they were taken advantage of by corporate America and now they expect the government to bail them out by raising taxes and giving them more handouts.

    @44:

    -I don’t actually watch TV. God Charlie Sheen’s antics get pretty old fast. But I don’t like those Red Cross volunteers who keep disturbing me for my nickel on my way to work. I’d rather buy a nice steaming Italian sausage from the street meat vendor for lunch. My stomach > 200k Haitians.

    -I’m actually glad I’m not American. Hence our diets aren’t really derived from pharmaceutical grade caffeine alternatives like Red Bull and highly processed hybrid corn products like Doritos. We prefer au naturel poutine and wild gamey nomnoms like bison and venison. Yes, we Canadians know how to hunt. We can also do a lot of other awesome things. Like get contracted to make weapons for the American military-industrial complex in Quebec. Just to please you Dorito-munching Red Bull-guzzling tyrants!

    -So naturally in an actual disaster we’d be better off that these tropical fucks. But think of the last time a major ecological event happened in the Canadian Shield. Hmm, besides the formation of the Great Lakes formed from the retreat of glaciers… nothing comes to mind. I beg to actually propose the point that you Southern cousins of ours would come to us begging for freshwater first in any major natural catastrophe around the North American region.

    -And lastly, my seed is more valuable than that of every Haitian combined living or dead in Hispanola. Because you see, you base the argument of their survival on proof derived from ‘emotions’ and carebear attitude. I base mine on real scientific and historic facts. Therefore I win!

    You should start that by heavily taxing these so-called distractors aka celebrities and redistributing the money those who actually need it!
