Could've donated all that money to any of AIDS fighting group in African.

Instead of seeing those package getting thrown out, you can actually save a life or two. But hey, your money. :)

You could have donated that $600 you spent on that PS3 and fed a whole lot more starving children. People spend money for a variety of things. Spending it on a joke is certainly a valid one.


 Somehow I don't believe me spending money on my own enjoyment, vs spending things that is FOR SURE to thrown out... aren't quite the same.

 

All I'm saying is, opportunity cost of that is 0 with the stun, could've spent on a more worthy cause. 


 

I don't want to derail this thread, but I've read articles--one with an interview with an African politician--which essentially show that sending food, money, clothes and general aid to Africa is the single biggest problem with the continent.  It completely destroys  their economies, removes the need for jobs for citizens, and generally doesn't help a single thing.  Sending aid to Africa means you're actually part of the problem--and none of the aid ever goes to the people that need it anyway as it's either hoarded by crooked leaders or stolen by warlords and used for more devious purposes.

Sending a plastic shovel to Ubisoft with that message was a good idea.  I hope it's true.
