lemme ask you something--why are we (as in fandom, not the royal we) supposed to donate to Jensen's baby fund? Because when celebs say, 'oh please donate to XX charity', what they really mean is 'don't send your stupid gifts to us we don't want that shit'.

Come on, these folks make more money than god, or at least more money than probably my flist's combined salary. What they spend on stuff for their kids could feed someone like me for a month, probably two. Three. Why would you (as in random nutjob you, not *you* specifically,) even contemplate taking your hard-earned pelf and spending it on someone who you don't know and again, does not want your shit and does not shop at the places you shop? Even if you get your Aunt Madge to knit one of her famous afghans (or however you make an afghan) that everyone in town just adores and hopes like anything to get one for their own spawn, celebs are gonna--well, more than likely never see it--don't they have people for stuff like that? I know if I was a celeb I'd have people for that.

I guess some folks feel a connection with the actors they see on their screen every week. I know I do. I feel this deep connection with Jensen and Jared, and it expresses itself in writing and reading some really nasty stuff about what they do with their down time. I know, heart-warming, right? *waves hand* Told you I was crabby.

In totally unrelated news, I am very much enjoying our watch of The Walking Dead. BG and I are totally immersed. I'm going deaf from her constant fear-filled shrieks. Very amusing! And the little kid, Carl? Holy shit, that kid's a G! There's a little Dean for you!

Okay, I'm actually going to post this instead of deleting it.

I'm with you on this one. I've been bothered for a while about the whole "spnfamily supports" everything. But then - I don't get people spending $800 or whatever it was to hear Jensen sing either. *shrugs* There are fans and there are fanatics :)

fans and fanatics--that's the truth! I wish I had the money to spend to pay 800$ to hear my beloved Jensen sing. Why, if I had that money in my hand, guess where I'd be? That's right, sitting on my brand, new couch wondering what Jensen sounded like.

I think that never having a lot of extra money puts a hugely different perspective on things. I love the guys, I love the show. That does not mean I'm going to be spending my hard fought for cash to send them, or their kidlets, presents that they don't need and will probably ever even see.

It's so true! I love them, I love the show but money...we're talking another language there, kid!

I know! I always envy everyone who gets to go to one of the cons and have pictures taken with the guys. But, even if we had that kind of extra cash, I could never bring myself to pay it for myself. Nice as it would be to experience it, even once.

*hugs*
