Jorge, if it's any consolation, my comment was everything to do with how the public and the media will exploit the event for its own insignificant ends, and nothing to do with how happy I am that the kid was given this awesomely special day.theplatypus wrote:Well that ruins everything.Heathen wrote:he's in remission

Exactly. You can never please everyone. If nothing like this was being done, there'd be people complaining too. There are charities doing things like this all the time, but not everything is publicised. These charities have only a certain amount of funding and resources, so not every single unfortunate kid is going to get their wish. But at least some of them get that chance.
Edit: I'm a page behind as usual.

That kid had an amazing day. Even a video clip from the president telling him 'good work.'

Yes that is exactly what I was saying when I didn't say that. I didn't expect anyone to understand the true, hidden meaning of my post but I guess some people are just very good at reading between the lines.Fuck You Jobu wrote:So because not everyone can get something, then no one should, amirite?Heathen wrote:I bet all the kids with leukemia who didn't get to be batkid are feeling heinous right now

I think people are probably missing the fact that I said I was happy for the kid.
