Mr Waringin has been quoted in his blog as saying he would rather share money earmarked for a conventional promotional campaign with people who needed it.

Considering this gets him more publicity for his book than any damn billboard would, it seems like a pretty good deal.

Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
The man they called Jayne
He stole away our pain
And headed out for the stars

On a side note.

Will people stop biatching about the price of gas already. Suck it up and deal with it.

Nobody wants to hear your biatching.

THIS. Either start the revolution, or shut up already. Make it as violent as you want.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer but...

I think his idea was in the right place but things like this always scare me. You always here of people getting trampled and shiat during these stunts.

But hey, if it didn't happen this time - woo hoo!

Came in here to say that, so I'll finish...

He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne...

In a way, utterly arrogant to show of you can afford losing 11K, while in a plane, flying over the heads of people who could not afford losing the banknotes that have fallen in places that they just can't reach.

Came for the Firefly references, was not dissapointed.

I know. It's rare I get the opportunity, as a liter, for first anything, let alone the obligatory firefly reference. I feel... something.

/ It's been a weird day.
// I was at the restaurant with my folks just now. My mother quietly commented to me that the waitress was cute. She looked under-aged to me. Cute as hell, but under-aged.
/// I described some of the usual Fark Chris Hansen jokes and 'shops I'd be facing, by rights, for agreeing.
//// She cracked up when I quoted the "I swear I didn't know she was 3" 'shop.

It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says... Happy... Thanks... Giving ... From ... W ... K ... R... P! Something just came out of the back of the helicopter. It's a dark object. Perhaps a skydiver. Plummeting to the earth from only 2000 feet in the air. No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers. I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, they're turkeys! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're crashing to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!
