Did I just miss the punchline? Please tell me I missed the punchline.

Edit: Worksafe - turn volume down or off. It appears to be cyberbegging by the comfortable, the overly comfortable.

2. You aren't a heartless, neo-con ass, that's why you don't get the joke.
I don't get it either, for the same reasons, but I do recognize their lame attempt at humor, social satire, or something like that.

My guess is that these people are tired of the homeless and charities asking them to bother their beautiful little minds and fork over some cash. Thus they come up with this so-called humor, which includes broad brush attacks, and outright lies about charities.

3. "The Future of Begging"
Looks like satire to me.

30% of the population won't get it, though.

4. It seems to me
to be taking off an all the likely-bogus cyberbegging sites by outright admitting their background and desires.

I'm guessing it's tongue-in-cheek parody, with the added idea of "well, if it makes us a few bucks, why not?"

5. It comes off as satire to me.
Poking fun at the Conservatives who hate charity but take everything they can get from the government.

6. Yes it's as DISGUSTING as it sounds
and I don't think it's a joke.
Seriously people, do you really think that little PayPal icon at the bottom of the page is a joke?:think:

These people are selfish scum of the Earth and there are way too many of them in this Country.:puke:
