Re: ugh
said by Karl  :At no point (unless they change it today) has the website, FAQ or fine print ever noted that the winnings would be donated to charity.... I just went to the front page of the auction site and it says it is for Habitat for Humanity right in the middle of the page. |

Actually, when this article was posted, I checked out the site and I easily found the habitat for humanity link so I was wondering what was going on. |

The PR nightmare this will become is worse than their stock price. Pull up a chair, pop some corn, chill your favorite beverage and enjoy the show.

Gotcha, yeah I've been watching it for weeks, and as of this morning when I wrote it the link wasn't there...it was added with a link to today's press release sometime after my article went up.
I think they might have noticed the hits coming from our site making light of the auction...and realized that they need to shore up on the PR front. |
