I know these threads really aren't allowed but it's for a REALLY good cause!
Hello everyone

Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical monolith that charges nearly $1,000 for a 30 day supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications, is donating $1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who simply visits their website and "virtually lights a candle." The tally is over 1 million now.

Repost please.

Thank You.

[McLovin']

Sure.

[Shlup]

Charity is not advertising.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

It's a great idea. I did it.

[Christmas]

Sure! :bigsmile:

[escobert]

Could someone make this important maybe? :bigsmile:

[Rocket Edge]

Sure. :monster:

[Meat Puppet]

That was easier than I expected.

[Shlup]

Could someone make this important maybe? :bigsmile:

This isn't a fuckin' church.

[tan]

This is a great idea :)

[escobert]

This isn't a smurfin' church.

Meanie!

[Goldenboko]

Consider it done


For the Chocobos.

[dodhungry]

:angel:

[Shlup]

Okay, I lied, apparently this is a fuckin' church.

[escobert]

:love:

[Rye]

I did it. This is a wonderful cause. :)

[Roto13]

I got this in an email a while ago. My candle is already lit.

[Tavrobel]

Done and lit.

[Zeromus_X]

I lit one. :) :cat:

[DarkLadyNyara]

I might as well. :rolleyes2

[XxSephirothxX]

Done. :]

[I Took the Red Pill]

Candle lit Sarge. :smash:

[Evastio]

I lit one.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

If you click the link, light the candle, close the window, and do it all again, you can light as many candles as you want. I've done it several times now.

[Yamaneko]

Can you do it only once 'cause it let me do it twice? I'll be here all night.

[Shlup]

The Flash replays but it probably doesn't count you twice.

[Disco Potato]

There's a tally thing in the upper left corner and it does go up if you light a candle repeatedly, but I don't know if the people running the site itself use that same tally. In any case, I don't think it would hurt to light a few of them :)

[RiseToFall]

No prob.

[Shlup]

That time when I did it it went up ten. Heh.

[rubah]

it says they are proud to offer 100k?

[Hawkeye]

Good cause; no reason not to do it.

[Raistlin]

Even I did it, so nobody has an excuse.

[Ouch!]

Even I did it, so nobody has an excuse.
I can't argue with that.

[Jojee]

I won't do it now since Wesley did it. >:</>(

Actually I just can't ever get flash player 8 installed or something .-. I tried to install it like 3 times for something else already and it wouldn't ;.; Still a nice idea, though ^^

But 1k for a 30 day supply D: You gotta be rich to afford that medicine >:3

For each virtual candle lit through December 31, 2006, Bristol-Myers Squibb will contribute $1 to the National AIDS Fund, up to a maximum contribution of $100,000, to benefit AIDS service organizations in underserved communities in the U.S.

I don't think you're doing any good at this point. You'd be better off clicking the donate link.

[Chloe.]

Wow that was easy, I lit one. :bigsmile:

[nik0tine]

Seriously.

Although, I admit. I probably wouldn't have done it had Bert not been the one to make this thread.

Aye, and 1111653 candles lit already. But I did it anyways.

[escobert]

Yeah, that sucks. :( the message I had recieved never said anything about the $100,000 mark :(

[NeoCracker]

I'll probably do it in a couple of days. Don't want to go get my wallet right now. Great Idea though making this thread.

[Jess]

Wow, that's really nice! Done it. :jess:

Oh. wait. It doesn't count anymore?! :(

Friggin cheapasses. Thats pretty sad ya know? They're trying to make themselves look good cuz they're being so "generous", but to a company like that 100 grand might as well be toilet paper. But as we all know, pharmacy/drug companies dont give a crap about human lives, they just care about making money.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Did it twice. :bigsmile:

Yup, as my dad said, it's mostly just good advertising for the company :(

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

did it

I totally agree. It's just like the Ronald McDonald Children's fund.

[Loony BoB]

No need to keep this stickied now that it's nothing short of easy advertising for that company.

I lit a candle anyway. Because I like to BURN things. *firey eyes*
