Help us raise money for haiti relief, and help yourself be entertained… AT THE SAME TIME!
jeffrubinjeffrubin:

CollegeHumor has been around for over a decade (which is like a century in website-years), but we’ve never done anything charitable. That changes today with LOLaid. We are raising money for Haiti relief, and if you chip in we’ll send you some exclusive CollegeHumor originals we are never going to post anywhere else.
Here’s how it works -- Go to FirstGiving.com/CollegeHumor and make a donation to Doctors Without Borders. This wonderful organization is in Haiti providing still much-needed emergency assistance to those who need it, and your donation could help provide them with much needed supplies.
- After you donate you will get an email with a link to three CollegeHumor videos you are never going to see anywhere else. There’s a Hardly Working, a Jake & Amir, and a commercial parody that has lingered unreleased for years because we thought it was too offensive. That’s right, we are using the lure of something upsetting to encourage donations to a good cause. Like I said, we’ve been on the Internet for a while now.
- That’s it. There is no third step! Just enjoy the videos and encourage your friends to donate. That link again is FirstGiving.com/CollegeHumor. Go! Donate! And if you can’t donate, help us spread the word then find someone who can!
