    Looking at this persons site were they are selling T Shirts in the wake of the hurricane and mysery/death/hell that followed it to see someone publicly making money from this tragedy strikes me as low and other words i will not mention.

    Yes the person said they will donate SOME money to the red cross but it is obvious this is nothing more than a money spinner. (am i wrong?)

    Someone is going to try and make a buck on any tragedy. I think it is despicable to cash in on this much misery. It takes a special type of scum to look at all the misery and death of your coutrymen and see it as a way to cash in.

    Yeah, I remember that well, Chris. :(

    That's the trouble, not only is there Katrina's aftermath to contend with, we don't know how many more hurricanes may be brewing in the near future.

    I think "making a buck" out of the disaster started with the looting and 'free shopping'. The merchandising was bound to follow. :mad:

    I can remember 'tards waring co-called "funny" tee-shirts and bumper stickers after 9/11 too. Made me inclined to rear end the bumper sticker freaks if I had a bigger bull-bar. :rolleyes:

    Misery vultures and low-life forms abound in this world today, sadly.

    I could never imagine myself going through what you guys on the coast and elsewere go through with these hurricanes.

    My thoughts are always with you on the otherside of the pond.

    They have reports of one person who started solicting funds and has his paypal account frozen. I don't think you make a bundle from cafepress anyway!

    Also the first email scam/worm/virus are already spreading....

    I deleted the one I have received or I would post the text.
