............. Insta couple’s bid for cash to fund trip backfires
GOFUNDME FAIL

An Instagram couple is begging for more than $16,000 online so one of the influencer’s mothers no longer has to work two jobs to support them, saying working would be “detrimental”.

Do I read this right ?

Of course they're Germans... The most retarded nation after USA. Here, these are the two "travellers":

Sadly.

Reminds me of the time a friend's cousin crowdfunded her and her boyfriend's wedding and honeymoon. Makes me sick to my stomach, but then, if people willingly hand the money over, who's to blame?

Probably the fools who hand over the money are the ones who can least afford it too.

WA streaker Ben Jenkins hits $5000 donation target for his nude run across Optus Stadium

The man who stripped naked to streak across the new Optus Stadium has raised the $5,000 needed to pay his fine for entering the field.

Ben Jenkins, a former Kalgoorlie footballer of the year in 2015, planned the naked run across the ground at the Australia v England clash and blamed peer pressure for the decision to streak in front of 54,000 spectators.

He and his mates had discussed the nudie run on Facebook on Friday and Mr Jenkins confidently told them “I won’t pay (the fine)”.

After his arrest at the ground on Sunday, Mr Jenkins set up his own GoFundMe page in a bid to raise $5000.

That figure was reached before 10pm on Monday - just 14 hours after the campaign was launched.

“After being taken to the cleaners by the new stadium on beers and the food, surely a contribution to the best entertainment of the day is in order,” one person posted.

“An essential and brilliant addition to such an important moment in Australian and WA sport. Failure to organise for a streaker on such a momentous day was clearly an oversight, and Ben 'saved the day' with his spontaneous jog,” another added.

“It was always on my bucket list but I’m too old to do it now. Thanks for the entertainment Ben.”

It remains unclear what Mr Jenkins plans to do with any additional funds raised for his cause.

He made need it for his court appearance, which is on top of his stadium eviction and three-year ban from any Cricket Australia events.

He has been charged by police with trespassing - an offence which carries a maximum penalty of up to 12 months in prison and a $12,000 fine.

Mr Jenkins will likely appear in court next month.

At least for now, his Optus Stadium fine is covered.

And then there's cases like that. People dipping into their coffers to pay for somebody else's stupidity. My mind boggles, I would never support anything so ridiculous.

Crowdfunding is handy though, depending on it's purpose. Had a relative in hospital last year with a life threatening condition. I gladly donated to them, and they reached their target and were able to pay their medical bills.

I can quite easily see that happening. A nice thing.


A mother who works 2 jobs to support her instragram child who is an 'influencer' ?
I mean, 'influencer' is not even a real word, let alone a job.

I can see who the influencer is influencing

I think we should crowdfund too. I want the new RS7 Audi. What do you fellas want?
