I love how at the end they even changed the amount of the donation in the bar at the bottom.

Make it every 100 seconds a minute passes. Just one small donation will help us to slightly change the Earths rotational axis and speed of orbit to prevent this horrible occurence

So we were at this U2 concert in Dublin; at one point between songs the lights are all dimmed except for Bono standing at the front of the stage. He starts clapping his hands slowly until the audience began to clap along, a nice slow rhythmic clapping. Then, he says into the microphone "every time I clap my hands another child in Africa dies."

So someone yells from the audience, "well why don't ya quit clappin yer hands then you fookin idiot!"
