#1 I would expect this from Belgians. Greeks? Aris, any explanation?

#3 Now, find the circus that received a bunch of boxes of quick cooking rice and beans, and make an exchange for the wigs, etc....

What is the big deal...

Oh, yes... Anal retentive European Media...

Now I, "understand the rage".

#4 Sobiesky> *shrug* What explanation can there exist for stupidity? I assume some people gave things not pausing to think if they'd actually be useful to the victims. Or perhaps they gave things thinking they'd be sold and the proceeds go to the tsunami victims. Or whatever. Not particularly interesting. At some point someone in the whole process acted stupidly and wasn't checked by anyone else.

#5 ...including fur coats, thongs and carnival wigs

Maybe they can use them as trade bait for something they need from San Francisco?

#6 I think they should ship the wigs off to the American Cancer Society, where cancer victim's
wait patiently for a wig, as they tend to be costly and those on financial disability income cannot afford a wig. Or send to the organization in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida that takes hair clippin's and makes wigs for the needy. I think the charity is called LOCKS FOR LOVE in LOS OLAS.

#9 Shipman- It has been awhile since I have gone to Ft. lauderdale- can't recall the Elbow Room?
Best to look up the LOCKS FOR LOVE on the web.
