DC Comics – We Can Be Heroes

DC Entertainment (aka DC Comics) has decided to step up for aid to Africa with their We Can Be Heroes Campaign. ย Essentially they are putting the Justice League Superheroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.) up front to drive awareness and raise money for famine relief in the Horn of Africa.

Better still they are matching funding dollar for dollar for the first $1 million.

And while this isn’t time for my typical charity drive, I am doing a special one off this week on Google Plus. ย For those on Google Plus who want to help, click here to see my post there, and then share it. ย For every share of that post I get this week, I’ll donate $1 up to $500 total.

    Maybe Super Broccoli Man could fly over there & help too??? Good on you for your generosity Bearman. I was really touched by the man that fell down on the ground to help the lady up.

    You’re like Batman but with green hair. I guess you’re more like the Joker but not as crazy.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Who says I am not crazy.

    Controversy just loves to find you no matter how kind or altruistic you’re being. Hopefully it will attract attention to the positive aspect of what you have going on.

    Personally, you can donate YOUR money any way you seem fit. If I don’t wanna participate or help, then i just don’t. There’s no need for me to complain or say you’re in the wrong.

    I was truly amazed at how that G+ thread turned sour so quickly. I will support you however you like or need. You do more good for the world than I, so I could never be mad at ya for that. ๐Ÿ™‚

      It amazes me that some people are so vocal that others should spend their money the way they seem to want it spent. When you start paying MY bills, you can start telling me how to spend my money is how I want to react.

      1. George Avatar

        And you do a lot of different things. Just because you’re doing this right now doesn’t mean you’re against any other forms of charity. It’s like if I donated towards Testicular Cancer. Does that mean I’ve got some grudge against Breast Cancer? Not at all.

        Continue to do what you want with your moola. My choice is to either help you or ignore you. It’s not to tell you what you SHOULD be spending on.

        However if you’re taking suggestions as to how to spend your money, I will admit that I look very sultry and handsome while using a free iPad that someone can give me as a gift. ๐Ÿ˜€

          You had me up until Sultry…that is a George Ford look that I don’t want to see.

    Bravo to you for being engaged in great causes.

    You do good work Bearman. I have got to get back over there and share and I really have to see what George is talkin about. I like a good skirmish as long as I ain’t in it. I might just jump in on this one though.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Bo, I was trying NOT to engage but of course I can’t help it.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        It is very hard not to fight off an attack…especially an undeserved one. Keep hangin’ in there. Your friends know what kind of person you are.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I try to bite my tongue as much as possible…ouch.

    Good on ‘ya Bearman. Off to Google +.
    I too am interested to see what kind of cretin would oppose any personal decision on a charity request.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Miss R. You find all kinds on the internet.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      He was swimming to help.

    This is very admirable of you Bearman, more power to ya! I would like to support your cause, but I’m not a Google+er. Is there anything I can do to contribute?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well you can contribute directly to their campaign if you want. Not sure what else, but that.s
