CHARITY! Holy Moly! The Stranger Has Now Raised $8,995 to Feed the Hungry

As of yesterday, Slog commenters had raised $8,175 more than Gawker commenters to feed the homeless and hungry. Today our lead has ballooned to $8,995! That's amazing, of course. But now we gotta get it over the $9,000 mark.

As you know, if you donate to Northwest Harvest and send us your receipt, you'll get an AWESOME PERSON tag on your commenter handle. To sweeten the pot today, the first person to make a donation after this post goes up and send us the receipt will also get this drawing:

This one-of-a-kind doodle was made by The Stranger's general manager Laurie Saito in a recent manager's meeting. Laurie went to art school and makes one-of-a-kind drawings like this all the time. There's a gallery of them on my office wall because I usually beg her for her doodles when meetings are over. But for charity, today, I'm giving this one away.

Donate now!

Ostentatious Giving is a Humanist Virtue

If I were to donate, could I get a special tag to the effect of "pompous asshole"?

I'd rather get a lap dance from Christopher Frizzelle.

So, according the the headline, The Stranger has raised $8,995 in total, and according to the post, they raised $8,995 more than Gawker.

So Gawker raised $0? No wonder you're beating them.

They've been playing us from the get-go. But it's for Charity, so we can't get mad about it.
