Have the liberals of San Francisco donated a rubber fist yet?

I'm just asking because they sure seem to 'donate' that to each other a lot...

Free yoga mat. Only felched on once.

I guess it still would be better than the Scientologists.

Oh for god's sake. Great job making us all look bad. Seriously, we are not all that vapid. I hate Whole Foods and vegans, and I think guns are cool...Oh, forget it.

No different in spirit than people sending old clothes. Neither are particularly useful in a disaster. But I guess this as that special "other people" appeal to it.

And once SF is done helping the Haitians, they can do something about their chronic homeless problem.


San Francisco could do worse. They could take up a collection to send old copies of GTA: Vice City to Haiti.

Most likely the store is trying to drum up business and is saying "Donate your old yoga mat at our yoga store and we'll donate $1 to Haiti" or some such.

 
wydok 2010-02-08 07:16:49 PM  
That goodness for San Francisco! Those poor Haitians can have their yoga mats back.

skinink: And once SF is done helping the Haitians, they can do something about their chronic homeless problem.

Actually, they bring that one on themselves; they spend so much money "helping" those people, they are flocking in to get on the gravy train. Like feeding a stray animal, it never goes away.

Force them to work instead, and watch them run like hell!

Small wonder Dr. Michael Savage calls the city "San Fran-Sicko" or maybe "San-Fran-Psycho" regularly.

It's those damn SF Yoga mats -- lord only knows what kind of bugs they have

Stupid Yoga people. They can punch you all the way across the screen, but they move like molasses.

Small wonder that you, of all Farkers, would listen to Savage.

On a side note, how soon will the "Colts - Super Bowl XLIV Champs" clothing arrive in Haiti?

Having talked to quite a few homeless in San Fran I haven't met a single one that would change their life. Some people just dig that lifestyle.. to each their own.

The thing is, the costs to transport and the questionable ability to distribute make them a bad donation item. Link

Maybe they could wipe their asses with them.

I find Michael Savage to be one bitter person who only skill is complaining. I'd hate to run into him in any kind of situation, he just doesn't seem happy. I'll meet you halfway if you can quote any other media figure who has an opinion on SF, but definitely not anyone from talk radio.

In Star Trek whenever they go back to Earth it is to San Francisco. Why is that? Well, Picard went to France on vacation once. But why SF?

The funny thing about yoga mats are that they are comfortable to lie down on, you know, for people who are sleeping on the ground every night.

/more useful than sending touch therapists.

Fark Haiti!

please send your extra food and or money to your local food banks and local charities. the little kid who lives down the street from you that is going hungry tonight needs it just as much as people in Africa.

I wish they'd donate Pelosi thereby giving a 3rd world country a corrupt wanna-be dictator(they all seem to love those things) and helping the US to a congress that cares about the constitution, the will of the masses, and a lot less booze filled flights.

well, the way things are going we are shipping them faster here than we can find them places to stay. that little Hatian you sent your $10 may just end up throwing a rock through your window anyway.

An intelligent reader would know he wasn't implying that Haiti was in Africa. Stop with the Grammar Nazism.
