So I had this thought.. This promotion is surely attracting a lot of attention, but precious few people are able to take advantage of it. The vast majority of the people trying to participate are wasting their time and just building their aggravation.
Is it just me, or does aggravating a whole bunch of people a sure fire way to LOSE support for your cause? Personally, I just spent 5 minutes trying to get that HP netbook they had for all of 10 seconds, only to be told it was sold out. At this point, breast cancer owes ME money, and any time in the future that I'll think about making a charitable donation, I'll remember breast cancer aggravating me, and either donate to a different cause, or save my money.
Not very well-played, in my opinion... they would have been better off auctioning the items - they would get more money, and no one would be upset about not getting in on an artificially low-priced deal.
