In perhaps the most compelling proof yet that we humans will happily donate money to see other humans suffer, the team at LoadingReadyRun announced that this year’s Desert Bus for Hope marathon earned a whopping $378,895 for the Child’s Play charity. All it cost the crew was 150 hours (a little over six days) of playing the stupifyingly boring “Desert Bus” minigame from unreleased Sega CD game Penn and Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors.
So LRR gets nearly $400K for playing a dull game, yet we listened to Great Uncle Jerry’s post-Thanksgiving lecture on the ethical failings of the BCS system, and nobody gives us a dime? Where’s the justice?
