Kick Kickstarter to the CURB!!!

[crash override]

First, read this and sign the attendant petition: http://www.dosomething.org/petition/kickstarter

Second, if you have a Kickstarter campaign going, PULL IT. If you're considering a Kickstarter, DON'T. They must learn that this WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Period.

Third, BOOST THE SIGNAL. Far and wide.

6/21/2013 ETA: They've apologized, as well as announced they're making a $25k donation. It's a start. Much less pissed, but not completely ready to let this slide. Let's see if they back up their words with action.

Yes, many businesses succeed on profit motive alone. But people like to have their daydreams about art being fine and pure.

I think the reputation of being on the side of the angels has been an inherent part of every Kickstarter project, and is a good part of why Kickstarter has succeeded so well.

Here's hoping they can fix that reputation.
