JP's Arrest -- Clarification

Just FYI, from the best of my knowledge...

If you checked the front page recently you would see that JP is being arrested. Worried? Nah. Apparently it is part of a fundraiser. The MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) is locking up participating celebrities until 'bail' is donated. It's a sort of fundraiser joke, people. Just to make that clear.

Secondly, Muscular Dystrophy is a genetically based disease which basically causes muscle cells to fail to regenerate. When you excercise, muscle cells die and grow back stronger than before. For people with MD, they don't. The cells that replace the muscle may be fat cells instead. I had a friend a few years ago who was afflicted with MD, and was in a wheelchair constantly.

So, to boil it down:
JP is being mock-arrested as a fundraiser
MD is an icky affliction, money is needed for research (hence the fundraiser)

lmao....what a great idea...

It is great to see someone giving back to others...I wish everyone was like that

yes.....hes NOT SELLING MDMA, or e as many people have awsked

I bailed Mr. TC out two years in a row now...you'd think I'd learn. :D :D

Well Jp gets what he deserves. After all rape of a penguin is wrong....... ;)

In all seriousness though. It is a good cause. I'll donate myself as soon as I can. I dump most of my money into diabettes research since I am a juvinille diabetic myself. So anybody that donates to his/her research charity of choice neads a big pat on the back. Kudo's to all that do.

Thats really cool... Im happy to see JP got put in the slammer. *lol* better him then me. I hope he has fun. :D

Heh, not that I'd like to see it happen, but what if nobody bails JP out? :( :(

I should give something however...*sigh*, victims of "natural" disease always bother me. Because most of the time, only good, honest, trust-worthy people get infected...

heh.. I was worried there for a moment. I was about ready to make some calls. But yes it is a very good deed JP is doing got those folks and I'm sure he'll have some good stories to tell when he gets back.

Lol, I have bailed my mom out several years in a row now, too. ;)

Just for clarification...he doesn't actually go to a real jail, more like a call center where he can call people to contribute more money. At least that's the way they do it here!

Deb :D

JP called me stupid for not getting the joke at first..... heh i lost a bit of respect for him there

lol definately as soon as i get some cash i already told JP i was donating.... :)

and i WANT pictures of JP in the jail clothes! lol, pink stripes are awsome!!! w00t!

Yeah, can't wait to see those pics haha

I was worried too, until i realized that the whole bail deal didn't really make much sense. It's a great cause, though.

cool
what a good thing to do

Greetings All:

It is a great cause, and a chance to show how big of a heart our community here at AntiOnline has. If even a fraction of our members would donate even just $5, we could raise a huge amount of money for this cause.

So, give what you can afford, whether it's $100, $50, $25, $5, or even just $1. When you multiply those numbers by our userbase, it all adds up!

Thanks!

I just sent a check for $10 in.

What's with the link under the user's names?

"I helped bail JP out"

How do I get such a prestigious title/honour? ::confused::

(Side Note: Sending a 5$ donation as we speak - college student, sorry gotta be cheap)

Greetings:

No matter how much, or how little, you donate, once we get word that you've helped out our cause, you get the cool little post bit under your name.

I sent in $10 by check just now.

Me Too!
Power to the Diabetics!

JP- When I get paid, I'll help you out. College life sucks.

taahhh.. if i had a job i'd give some too.. tho i dont think it would be much when it reaches to america.. since the australian dollar is half the value of the american dollar..

*looks for his cheque book but cant find it.. prolly dad hid it this time..*

I tried to bail JP out, but they said to donate more!!!

thats cus your a cheepass louie, lol.... remember for every dollar i put in you gotta put in 3!!!!

i can't think of very many afflictions worse than your muscle cells slowly turning to jelly. one of our neighbors was afflicted with MD and it made us extremely sad to see her condition slowly deteriorate. Even so she showed a bright attitude and tried to keep spirits up. She probably knew we were sorry for her, frustrated that nobody could do anything.... all the above...
JP's in the MD slammer on the 5th of June, if you donate by check make it arrive by then, if you keep him in a bit of suspense, keep your credit card or paypal handy and hit him as hard as you can on the 5th. :)

JP why dont you use your influence to help people with AIDS ?

Why don't you just ask JP to use his influence for world peace, food for everyone, a healthy environment, a cure for all diseases, the answer to all scientific problems, and a face-lift for everyone? Oh, and while you're at it, make sure to ask him to use his influence to develop a tool that translates my cat's miaaw's in English (although Dutch would be already enough).

Thx in advance.

BTW: I ain't no doctor, but afaik MD is one of the symptons of AIDS.

And I'm pretty sure JP has his personal reasons why exactly he choose MD, and not AIDS for his good cause.

id like to see a cure for cancer..... but i think itll be to late for my reasons b the time one is found..

I've visited the MDA site and I strongly agree with what they want help for, but how do you pay if you live outside the US, e.g. in the UK? Are cheques from UK banks accepted, or does the organisation have a branch in the UK that I can help out instead?

" hit him as hard as you can on the 5th"

This is a bad idea. Heh. I have things to write up and fill out for each donation that I collect, so if you donate too late, it probably won't be counted in time for our final tally. I'm hoping everyone gives what they can afford, as soon as they can afford it.

Here's our chance to show the world what a big heart our community has for a very good cause, so lay off the freakin cash already!!!!!

Pwaring, if you live outside the US, you can always send us a foreign check, or even better, just use Paypal! Paypal lets you fill your account either via a wire transfer (ie, you give them your bank account numbers, and tell them how much you want to fill your account with, and they do), or via credit card.

Today i joined the "Bone Marrow Donor Register".
Donated blood at the same time...I feel good about myself for today.


Take the time to get out of your rooms and get to a hospital and donate..
Donating to Research is COOL too.;)

I just saw the thingy on JP being arrested-at first I was VERY worried :P
Glad to see JP isn't in any real trouble, but I'll get my dad to send you guys a few bucks when I can ;)

No credit card, under 18 unfortunately. :(

I'll see what my bank says about foreign cheques though, see if I can send one over. :)

Jp is pulling a Remote_Access

I recently donated blood to the American Red Cross... I wanted to donate plasma, but it was a blood drive... :)
