And now I've seen That Link over on asperger

[conuly]

I was very calm and polite when I explained that it might be a really good idea to tell people that clicking the link gives money to That Organization.

I think I'll bake cookies tomorrow! I'm so calm! And collected! And totally not about to scream!

(Well, given that the person was just asking for information, instead of spamming, I'm really not about to scream. But it *is* an irritating link. Maybe it can end up on Snopes, and they can say "Well, they're totally evil" for me? That'd rock.)

The link has been covered on Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/whatkind.asp), but only in the "yes, it really does donate to Autism Speaks" aspect, not the "this is what Autism Speaks stands for?!" aspect.

Well, fuck.
