BOO. SEND THAT MONEY TO HAITI! WHAT GLUTTON
BOUGHT THAT?ONLY A MONSTER WOULD MAKE SUCH A PURCHASE IN THESE TIMES. REALLY DISGUSTING. AS FOR THE SELLER, MAKE A DONATION AND DO NOT ACT LIKE A GREEDY FOOL.

To Boo - send the money to Haiti to increase the amount of corruption and greed that plagues the island???? I trust that you are writing this either from Haiti where you are donating your time and efforts, and/or have recently donated a sizable check and are just praying that it lands in honest hands. Why so hateful? Who's the real fool???

To Boo-The "glutton" who bought this has every right to spend his money how he chooses. What gives you the right to judge someone on how they spend THEIR money? How do you know the seller didn't donate? DO NOT ACT LIKE A SPOILED ENVIOUS VINDICTIVE DOMINATING A**.
