Brian Wilson likes to post on his message board every once in a while. People always debate whether or not it's really him although everyone involved claims that it's of course him, he has a special username and everything.
Anyways! Brian signs on and posts the other night, and he's answering people's questions. things like "Hey Brian, are you still working on that Rock album you were talking about?" and "Hey Brian, what do you think of Paul McCartney's new album?" and he goes through and answers them and talks to people for an hour or so.
One ass-clown posted "I don't think this is really Brian... if you are really Brian, email me, and I'll email you back my phone number. Call me, and I'll donate money to the Red Cross Katrina Relief fund".
Brian's been asking all his fans to donate to help out the Katrina Victims. Well, anyways, Brian got kind of pissed off that the guy didn't trust him, and wanted him to call him, so he posted something like "I don't know what to say to your post other than sometimes I wonder why I even try. Your offer isn't necessary" about the guy bribing him with a charitable donation.
Anyways...
Two days go by, and Brian posts that he talked it over with his wife, and wanted to make a bad situation good. So, he's offered on his message board, that if any of his fans will donate 100 bucks or more to the Katrina Relief fund (through an associate of his that's apparently personally down there handing out items and helping people 1 on 1), that he's call them. There's already been 3 or 4 people respond on his message board and thank him for callling them, so nice to talk to you on the phone, etc. Brian says he'll call you and you can ask him a question you've been wanting to ask, or just say hi and chat for a few minutes.
That's one of the most CLASS FUCKING ACT things I've ever heard a celebrity do.

No.
Ok...so dare i say that you did this and it wasn't really him? is that why you "Want my donation back"?
-
When I heard hurricane Katrina had wiped out New Orleans, I immediately donated money, the next day. It never entered my mind what color the people were.
In the days that followed, all I saw were people on television calling me a racist, and the race card played over and over again, so I'd prefer to have my donation returned. The only person that thanked me for contributing was George Bush, and he's a racist asshole according to everyone I read.
-
who is he?
-
I just found out, not only is he calling everyone that donates over 100 bucks, he's matching all the donations. Unbelievable.
-
who is he?
lol, a Beach Boy
interesting idea, but he kinda is a chump nevertheless

how come whenever you curse, you stress the fact that you cursed.

i didnīt really get that now

because written words are an inferior form of expression. I'm a pretty animated person and one of the only ways I can make my words appear to reflect how I usually express things is to stress certain words to add flair to what I'm typing.
For instance, I said "one of the most Class Fucking Act things". Proper english probably would have been to say "one of the nicest things". Nicest or nice is a word that's overused so much, that when you say somebody's nice, it holds no significance. So instead, I said "class act". If someone's a class act, it represents a certain type of person, a much more rare version of nice, which I think fits the bill in this particular situation. Even that wasn't enough, so I capitalized the first letter of both words, just to make it appear different than the other, less meaningful words I was typing... "Class Act". When you're talking to someone, and you curse like you have tourettes syndrome, it's jarring and kind of rude... so I cussed in the middle of the expression to maybe wake people up a little bit, and make them look at what I was typing "Class Fucking Act". Finally, feeling that too wasn't quite strong enough, I capitalized all three words "CLASS FUCKING ACT".
There ya go.

Brian Wilson Dialing Up Katrina Donors
Sat Sep 24, 5:31 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - "Iowa Jim" was suspicious. Was Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson really putting messages on his official Web site urging people to contribute to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts?
The Web surfer using that screen name e-mailed a challenge: If Wilson called and proved it was really him, Jim would gladly donate $100.
"So I called him up!" a jovial Wilson told The Associated Press. "I was surprised that he said he didn't think I was involved because I really was. So I called him up."
Then Wilson and his wife, Melinda, got another brainstorm. Why not have the legend behind such musical standards as "Good Vibrations," "California Girls" and "Surfin'" call everyone who donates $100 or more? And he decided to match any contribution of $100 or more posted through his Web site by Oct. 1.
"If we get $10,000, we'll match $10,000," Wilson said by phone Friday night.
The musician recalled being warmly welcomed when he performed at the New Orleans JazzFest earlier this year, and said it was heartbreaking to see what Katrina has done to the city.
He said he had made about 15 calls since posting his challenge Thursday.
"I've got to go pretty soon," he said before hanging up Friday. "I've got 20 more calls to make tonight."
