"Snooki" from MTV's "Jersey Shore" to appear at car dealership in "Haiti Promotion"
I've gotta side with the "why don;t you just donate the fucking MONEY" crowd on this one.

Because she'll appear anywhere for money and/or a Solo cup full of rohypnol-laced gin, Jersey Shore's Snooki is helping an Easton, Pa. car dealership supposedly raise money for Haiti on Saturday in probably the shadiest fundraiser I've ever seen. Via PRLog:

'Snooki' will be signing autographs and taking pictures with fans during this time in an attempt to help the dealership raise funds for Haitian relief efforts.
According to Star Car Sales Manager Eric Watson, "The dealership will donate $100 per every car sold on Saturday to provide much needed supplies and relief to the people in Haiti. We are thrilled to have 'Snooki' visiting the dealership to raise awareness for the cause and attract new buyers so we can offer more aid to the Haitian people".

6. It is a sales promotion, and very clever too, but
if they raise a few thousand dollars for Haiti by selling cars to people who were in the market to buy them anyway, what's the real issue? False advertising?

The "genius" of it all is that having Snooki there will attract EXACTLY the sort of buyers they want, not too bright and easily distracted. They might want to make sure they have plenty of IROC Z's on the lot.
