More pixel crap? Please no...

For those that don't know, I run a fairly significant political website, heartheissues.com, and am also the host of a nationally syndicate radio show called Midweek Politics which airs primarily on affiliates of the Pacifica radio network.

Monday is the official launch of www.donatehalf.com. It's a pixel advertising site, but we've got something special going. Half of the gross revenues (NOT subtracting paypal fees, other "costs," etc, is going to be donated in the way of a HAND-DELIVERED check by me to the charity that YOU VOTE FOR. This entire thing will be documented by a production team that is already in place.

Most of the important information is available here: http://www.donatehalf.com/donatehalfpr.doc

I will just add a few things that AREN'T included there. There is going to be a MASSIVE PR/Ad campaign to make this project a success:

-I will be promoting this to gain exporuse multiple times during every one of my weekly radio programs.
-It will be heavily promoted on my seven other websites.
-Countless press releases are being distributed as of Monday through different media outlets.
-A network of college students will be promoting this across the country.
-Media distribution lists to a combination of newspapers, magazines, radio programs, and television stations are in place and ready to be distributed Monday.

The goal is that before my 23rd birthday (February 2, 2007), I will have hand-delivered a check for ideally $500,000 to the winning charity.

Yeah. Nice work dpakman.

Site looks good - good luck!

Though, I can't decide which charity to vote for.
They are all extremely worthy causes... How do I decide?

Seems like a decent idea when compared to other sites which have followed in the footsteps of the origional (MDH, $5 Link... Where will the British advertising innovations end?!?).
I'm guessing that you probably used a pre-made script for this, but could be wrong and if it's true that the money is being donated, I don't overly care.
I'd be interested in seeing the documentry when complete if we ever get anything like that over here


CBG, Yes, they are all good charities, but remember, the Gates Foundation was established by your nemesis, cheapandusableyetinsecureandrequiresextraappstostopimplosionandotherlameness-man!!
