Well, I've seen all sorts of excuses to advocate click fraud but the plea
on Flickr to commit a crime for the children is a new one and more despicable than any I've seen before. Think about the precedent that this sets in impressionable young minds that it's "OK TO STEAL FOR A CAUSE" when crime is never OK. Sadly, all of the good this person has possibly done for these children was wiped away with one call to arms to defraud people for a cause.
If you want to save the children, set up a Paypal account and teach the children than they can be helped by the generosity of others, not by others commiting FRAUD!
Here's the screen shot

And the site it lands on
in Blogger:
Come on buddy, just ask for donations and keep it legal as we all love the children but this is over the top.
Bill,
ReplyDeletehow dare you criticise good-doers? :-)
Don't you know that they're above the rules because of their special mission?
Seriously, good-doers typically justify their actions with appeals to emotions in absense of any sensible arguments why the "good cause" (tm) is to make their abusive behaviour go away. I strongly suspect the incentive is to gain attention for the sole purpose of self glorification.
