Do YOU want to change the world?

Posted by Lundsfryd - February 6th, 2009


Well.. You can't.. But this might help, it is something i posted in the forum, but I only got little, and not very positive respons to it. Anyway. I will give post it here also if anybody wants to read it:

Today on my way home from school I walked passed a homeless guy who were begging for money, and I wanted to give him some, but I'm a poor student and don't really have any money to give. So I just hurried past him and tried not to catch his attention. But it really bothered me that I was unable to help. Then later when I was returning some bottles in the supermarket I saw something that inspired me. Right under the "print receit" button there was another button witch if you pushed would give your "bottle-money" to a charity organization (I believe this one was for Unicef). And here comes the point: what if the money we can make from putting commercials in the loader screen could be donated to a good cause?

And this idea really got me excited because next to the obvious fact that charity is a good thing. Think about the publicity possibilities (the fight against breast cancer could be "newgrounds supports the boobs" :P). I think that this would be a really good thing for newgrounds image. And I wouldn't mind giving those few measly bucks my movies would generate to a charity. I mean, so far I wasn't even considering putting commercials in my films because I didn't think it was worth the effort.

So - what do you people think? Any good ideas as to how this could work?

sounds good to me i guess. you can't really do anything with the money you get from the movie ads unless your movie/game gets like I dunno 200k views or something.
but of course all the little 5$s from all the random movies added up and going to a charity is different...
but i dunno how well this would really work on a higher scale, like, properly helpful amounts of money... i dunno

Yeah.. And I have no idea how to convince the newgrounders.. Most people in here would rather burn their money than to give them to people in need apperntly..

i like the plan

You clould copy the text and post it somewhere :)

that is a very good idea, fuck everyone who left negative comments, they are all just ignorant douchebags. i like the newgrounds supports the boobs idea, that was funny.

Well.. Most of them were serious responses with why they thought it was abad idea, and that fair. But I got quite a few from people who just seem totally indifferent to other people in need. I guess it is easy to distance your self from reality when you sit in your safe home in front of the screen. It's sad :(

I would say it's up to the author to decide what they do with whatever money they make, and to which charity they feel justifies it.
Think I remember Luis donating the Sketchbook 2007 award money to charity.

Cool.. Nice fellow.. And of course it should be up to the author, I just think it would happen more often if it was something that you gould do by the click of a button.
