A friend posted about this already. But I dont think this site can get enough exposure.

I am a member now and tonight I just made my first and second contribution. Fuck all those stupid TV adds in the middle of the night. This one is the real deal.
Picture this. Your a struggling bread vender deep in the desert. Your surrounded by two things. Sand and terrorist trying to give you money to join him. Then one day you are visited by a microlender partnered with kiva.org. The lender gives you a third option. He(or she) offers to put your picture on the internet to help raise the $500 dollars you need to buy the bread cart so you can put your kids through school and feed your family. You accept of course. After all taking money from an actual nice person is a lot better then taking money from an evil person who will probably just try and get you to kid nap people and then maybe even chop your head off one day. But you are cautious with the lender as well so you ask where the money comes from. The lender lists of texas, washington, new york and hawaii. You gasp! How?!? The lender then explains that they set up an account for you on kiva.org and 4 different people from america have banded together to get funding for the loan. You have to pay it back, but that should be easy with your new bread cart upping sells and now you dont have to join anything that will get your head cut off.
What better place to give your money. Bush says war will free people from tyranny. I say it is economics. And I am not alone.

No one's gonna be sending me underwear since no one has my address. No need to worry.

If you've got links, send them. Be prepared to be mocked publicly if you send me any super weird kinky shit though. (This, by the way, is directed at all guys, not just you.)
