Hell, in my day I’ve seen $4 hookers. Not that I partook, of course. And this was in 1996.

I have a feeling that someone has taken a picture of some poor guy that they happen to not like (maybe not even know) and set this thing up.

I just put up a similar website with a slightly higher-minded goal, and have been mildly successful.

[www.help-us-get-married.com](http://www.help-us-get-married.com)

More fun than profitable, unfortunately. Anyway, when you donate with a credit card on PayPal the recipient is charged around 30 cents.

check it out and feel free to offer feedback!

Whew! Man!
