No, it was well funded by the time the article was written. That's why the petition.

It was not failing. He reached his initial goal VERY quickly. He upped the goal several times, and when it was written about on Jezebel, it was just 12 hours away from the 30-day deadline, I believe.

True, and true.

I read it as he wrote about it 12 hours before the deadline. I think it was already funded at that point, but until the deadline, people can continue to donate to it.

Well hell. I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

I guess what I'm saying is, if it was in fact failing, wouldn't it have been better to talk about it AFTER it had failed instead of prodding people to go look at (and potentially fund) it? I'm not saying to ignore completely, just selectively and strategically.

No, it actually made its funding goal disgustingly quickly. It only gained about an extra thousand in those last twelve hours after the public outcry went up. :/

No. "Shut up and ignore it, and it'll go away" had never worked when it comes to sexism, I fail to see why it would stop working now. The douchebags who are willing to fund something like this would still be douchebags, even if they didn't find out that this project existed.

I hope you're right.

I read that the opposite - the comedian wrote about it less than 12 hours before it was successfully funded, meaning that the majority of the campaign was concluded by the time he had written about it.

Ugh, it's just so disappointing to think about the possibility the thing got tons more funding from the low lifes because people started talking about it.

These things are completely irrelevant. It's not your damn place to say whether someone SHOULD be shaken up by what was said — it was a dick move, END OF STORY FULL STOP.

Wow, I've never been more disappointed in my jalop brethren and the apparent inability to be empathetic. This isn't about what a girl wore. It's not about what an agent said. It's about the fact that we love in a society where it's okay to say such things because "she shouldn't dress that way." Where, because…

As someone who doesn't fully trust anyone that doesn't eat mayonnaise I love the use of "notorious" here.

I once dated a girl that I had a lot of banal sex with.
