Unbelievable ... Millionaire mom uses daughter for Kickstart

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/susanwilson/9-year-old-building-an-rpg-to-prove-her-brothers-w. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2009/fortune/0912/gallery.most_powerful_women_entrepreneurs.fortune/8.html http://www.inc.com/magazine/20080601/the-judgment-group-will-make-sure-you-get-paid.html. She asked for $829 to send her daughter to RPG Camp, and got over $20 000. (And she was expecting it. Note the $10 000 reward tier.) Not only is this dumb, but it's also against the Kickstarter rules.

Kickstarter does not allow charity, cause, or "fund my life" projects. Check out our project guidelines for details.

This is a "fund my life" project.

Un-[censored]-believable.

Edit: also note the blatant exploitation of gender politics. Dear spaghetti monster, how do so many people this stupid exist in the world? How is it not obvious to them that she's manipulating them?

How do you think millionaires stay rich?

I work at an antique furniture shop, we do restorations as well, and the wealthiest customers want bargain prices, and they never tip after delivery, upstairs, after a discounted price with free delivery.

Not really kickstarter's fault.... it's a basic feature of the Internet - make something available to people, and trolls with troll with it.

damn why am I not fund raising on this site? :P

I would rob this woman for being greedy...people like her need to be taught a lesson and the best thing to do to rich people is take their money away from them :yes:
