I guess it was for a good cause, too. I wish my father had $47,000 to spend on me, hehe.

You spent your first post here on this?

Well the general forum IS meant for this sort of thing isn't it?

Anyway what I'm interested in isn't so much how much did someone spend but rather what the money spent will be used for.

More drugs and hookers for Will Ferrell or something more worthwile?
Peace.

Does it even count because it's in the general forum?

It was a charity auction:

The money will go to the Cancer for College foundation run by a fraternity brother of Ferrell's at the University of Southern California.

If the only goal was to get your kid in a movie (with some resemblance of star-power), 50 grand would probably get him into an independent production and net the dad an associate producer credit to boot.

This is one of those philosophical questions --"If a post falls in a forum that doesn't add to count, does it really exist?"

I remember when you use to go around peddling your jams and jellies.

 

[Fred]

Pretty smart move really.

Its likely tax deductible in part, and you might launch your son's career.

Frankly smarter money than simply buying the kid a Porsche on his 16th

Spoiling the kid, pursuing his own dream of success through his son. I hate that.

 

[Dresden]

If you're paying, why not at least choose a good actor?

 

[Davros]

Was the guy who paid will ferrells dad ?

Well... Since this topic is utterly useless and can't really be 'on topic' no matter what's posted, I'll just say this: As far as first posts by bots go, that one wasn't half bad for cleverness.

 

[Geo]

Yeah. See sig, regarding second thread (since deleted).

 

[Zaphod]

This one?

I see it/(him) engaged in some rather non-bot-like interaction some other places and it's not as propagated as I'd expect from your average bot, so either someone is doing limited testing with something rather clever or it's just some very weird random spam.

Oh, well. Pretty useless at any rate.

 

[SugarCoat]

they test the waters to see if its ripe for invasion.

Same dog, but here it had a heart instead of bullseye. Detective Investigator 1st Class, Digitalwanderer, pointed it out to us elsewhere right before "Da Boss" big-footed all of us with Occam's Razor.

That was a (genuine) user reply to its/(his) post causing the aforementioned interaction ("hahaha nicely done") and in response to someone pointing out Will Ferrell's boyish charm ("...he's so hot right now").

I'm sure that's just the beginning of the Digibot becoming self aware (going all Skynet on us once it has suckered the meatbags into weeding out the competition ).
