Original post: The Violent Acres Birthday Charity Challenge Begins
The donate button keeps telling me paypal has an error. :(
Worked for me.
Starting the party, indeed V!
I for one will donate, just so I can see what the hell V looks like. How V will prove the photo is of her is up to her to ..but it will be tricky. SO even IF this is a scam (I doubt it), I am so pathetic that I am willing to risk a few dollars to see a photo of some anon blogger.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Forgot to mention that before everyone goes all batshit about the Indianapois PO address, I “think” that is where Myroid lives - the guy who appears to be helping her.
I’m really glad people are donating for a picture instead of donating to help abused children. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
PS: It’s myroid. His contact information is attached to the account.
But the charity is based out of Arizona. So if V from Indianapolis or Arizona? Hummm…
V should post her other content too. We’re not just a bunch of guys that want to see a girl in a bikini, we actually read this site for entertainment value.
It’s isn’t the pic… for me anyway. And I don’t really even like kids… the ghastly little critters… I just felt like being nice… if only for a minute.
Oh yeah. V lives in Memphis, TN. Just down the street from Graceland. Well… ok… maybe not. I just wanted to double post like everyone else.
I would be interested in the week’s worth of updates…
Oh and V’s calculations about the RSS readers is completely wrong because you can’t get to the paypal link through the RSS feed, might explain why so little money has been raised so far.
“if everyone subscribed to my rss feed simply donated $1.25″
If the people themselves donated, not necessarily through the RSS itself. Also, the picture isn’t “live”. Let’s just say it’s hardly accurate.
Oh yeah, make sure you donate and stuff. Multiple times. Give until it hurts!
I’ll be donating because I like the charity. I was all over the picture thing, but that’s not enough to get money out of my white-trash hands.
And, hey, since bitching about the picture worked — can I bitch about the lost updates, too? :P
So what if I want to get the tax deduction for my donation? I’m guessing V’s going to be making one lump-sum donation to the organization from the funds in the Pay-Pal account, which means I won’t have a record of paying directly to the organization (which the IRS now requires). Wonder if it would count if I make my donation via the organizations website and put V’s challenge name in the “In honor of” field. V, if you’re reading this, let us know in a post!
V, you’re awesome. :)
But just so you know, if my cash doesn’t make it to needy kids I will fuck your world.
Just saying.
Good luck on reaching $10′000, I’m sure you won’t have any problems.
The You Tube video convinced me that it’s a worthy cause… more than worthy, but, I’m a lazy contributor. No PayPal account since the problems with them in the past and I will not be going to the PO for a money order. If I have to trust you, than you can trust my personal check.
I’d also like to deduct my donation, not just because I’m cheap, but because my tax bracket stinks and I need all the help I can get.
I’ll send my check when I learn it will not piss you off.
I’m still calling bullshit in this. Not because I don’t believe she’s going to donate money to charity, but because I don’t believe in 6 weeks we’ll see a picture of V. Don’t be surprised if she somehow falls short of her 10,000 goal.
And also this”I actually had an entire week worth of updates for you guys, but then I decided not to bother posting them since it’s abundantly clear that if they’re not about my picture, no one gives a fuck. I wish this realization would have made it through my thick skull weeks ago, because I would have saved myself a bunch of time and energy I could have spent doing something else instead of writing. But what can I say? I’m a slow learner.” is complete and utter bullshit.
Only a couple of us have mentioned she hasn’t posted a picture. Most of the posters here have said they didn’t care, they like her writing etc. But oh no, she’s got to act like a whiny drama queen, bitching and moaning that all everyone cares about is her picture, not her writing.
Whatever!
Roxy, are you so stupid that you actually believe this is the ONLY website on the Internet where people actually talk about VA? I post on a lot of forums and I literally trip over threads about her. Ever cross your mind she’s referring to somewhere else in her post?
Of course not. Your mind is small. Like a bird’s.
“Roxy, are you so stupid that you actually believe this is the ONLY website on the Internet where people actually talk about VA?”
Yes.
“Ever cross your mind she’s referring to somewhere else in her post?
”
Nope.
“Of course not. Your mind is small. Like a bird’s.”
Takes one to know one.
Still calling bullshit on the picture.
I imagine V is smart enough to figure out the number of comments about his/her picture are far smaller than the number of people who check his/her site every day, so it’d be nice if he/she didn’t lump us all into the same category as picture-beggers and punish us all.
I’ve only been reading his/her blog for a while now and, although the topics are eerily close to something I might write (or at least contain the same views/advice/experiences) I sure wish he/she would tone down the bitchiness a bit. It’s a tad over-the-top and sometimes seems to be bitchiness for bitchiness’ sake and not nearly as fun to read as the posts where you can tell he/she’s genuinely frustrated or passionate about something instead of just trying to ruffle feathers and protect his/her rep. Lame.
If Emily at “Not That You Asked” (http://captainhambone.typepad.com/) can raise $15,000 in three days, V should have NO PROBLEM raising $10,000+ in six weeks!!!!!
What is to stop her from pocketing the donated money? She can make all the charts and graphs she wants, but that doesn’t mean she’ll actually give the money away at the end of it.

That would have taken 12 minutes to set up and use. Donating online has been done for years… it’s nothing new. I’m about as likely to donate to a random paypal as I am to respond to Nigerian email.
Violet Seems to like us to be savvy and sensible and call bullshit on bullshit. So there we go.
Can we hold our own poll over whether or not we get a picture or something else? Personally, seeing V would destroy the illusion a little. Since it would neither validate or invalidate any of her writings, why should I care if she’s 400lbs and has adult acne? The only difference it makes is that mommybloggers get to be catty and random men and/or women will finally have something to masturbate to - both aren’t really in my favor.
Regardless of the prize, I’m still going to donate as much as I can. Abused kids are abused kids and 48 beds is too few to make a difference.
What should V write about? How about the bitter way about common sense like in the first half of her writings? I would’ve had her children back then. And I don’t even have an uterus.
But I wouldn’t know about the paypal donations. I’m chronicly broke.
Plus, the only paypal account I have contains none of my money if I don’t go to space. So can’t use that one.
I donated. Both for the pic, the kids, and just to be a part of it all. Call me shallow, but she got the money out of me. That’s all that matters, right?
Karma’s a bitch and if she does pocket the money, it will come back around.
But, I really don’t think she’s scamming. Just not seeing it…
By the way, I wonder where she gets all this information about what her readers think. I’m sure this isn’t her only stop in her search for gossip about her site…I wonder where it is she goes…what links reside in her bookmarks?
ok, tonight it worked. I only donated seven bucks, but fuck it, I can’t afford my phone bill this month, I’m a poor trade school student. V, you fuckin rock and you remind me of my mom, so I emptied my paypal account.
I’ll ‘donate’ when the idiot removes the Photoshop’ed images of the child-abused kids she’s so dutifully trying to protect.
And also when the PayPal doesn’t belong to some loser who doesn’t have a job..
What a lame, half-ass attempt to get notoriety, you horse-faced piece of shit.
“And also when the PayPal doesn’t belong to some loser who doesn’t have a job..”
I think somebody’s jealous!
Okay, V, I donated. Never donated in my life. It was $10 because I’m a poor college student, and technically it’s government money because they’re paying my way through school. I didn’t do it for the kids. I didn’t do it for the photo. I did it because I’d rather read your blog than do homework that’s weeks and weeks late and your challenge is the first one I’ve wanted to participate in.
Please post those cool rants you’ve been hiding from us! Look, you even got me to come out and find a place to try to get my comments across to you! (Webspace? Online journal? What’re those?) You’ll never meet me but I want you to like me, so hurry up and validate me already.
Also, for you people on VATalk: I used Paypal and it gave me a donation receipt I could use on my taxes next year.
