A couple of weeks ago, I linked to Mr. Jalopy's fundraiser to by his young friend a Sony PSP. Here are the photos of the happy kid. Many thanks the Boing Boing readers who donated money for Junior's PSP.
When Junior was unwrapping the PSP he said, "Where do the batteries go?" and then caught himself – he knew! He had drawn the battery door about fifty times! I explained to Raquel (his mom, on the right) the videogame rating system and that Grand Theft Auto is the videogame equivalent of a kill-murder-hooker movie.
Some people got it and some didn't. Apparently, being poor and uncommonly creative is not enough to merit reward. For those concerned that I got away with some sort of scam I assure you, I will never spearhead another collection unless I make friends with a third world kid with a fatal disease that wants a Nintendo DS.
