This is mind-boggling. There is a website that just opened earlier this summer called Save Karyn and the basic premise is that this girl, Karyn, racked up about $20,000 in credit card debts and came up with the uniquely American idea of setting up a website and asking all visitors to donate $1 towards paying off her debts. To date, she has collected close to $7,000 in donations and several hundred dollars from eBay sales. She is very upfront and admits that her debts are her fault and says she is working hard to reduce them as much as she can, but it still seems ridiculous that she's gotten $7,000 in donations. Her website is pretty funny, though, and it gets over one hundred thousand visitors per week -- I guess it's all a numbers game.

I wonder if I should set up www.sendjohntocovenant.org and see if people would help pay my tuition? It's going to be about $20,000 a year and I'm going into the ministry. I guess that's not very entertaining to most people, though. Maybe I could post flash movies of me dancing with monkeys and singing about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Or bananas. People think bananas are funny sometimes.
