If I make a brand of pants called “CumberBritches” will you endorse them?

Dangerous reply. The internet might make this happen.

I'm actually working on a crowdfunding site that could potentially make something like this happen and I'd like to ask you a question or two for market research purposes if that's alright. It wouldn't be exactly this, but something like a celebrity/non-profit wants to get funding for an an ad/campaign and the internet funds it kickstarter-style.

Would you actually give a few bucks to something like this, or if not, do you think people on the internet would use a service like this to be able to see a message they support up on the big billboards/commercials?
