1] I have never seen such a low check amount "blown up" for a photo opp. Maybe a $3 million check but not $3k!!
DesertLizard, I was thinking the exact same thing. That is really embarrassing, imo. That would be the equivalent of everybody on the forum making a jumbo blow-up copy of your mortgage check every month. Am I right? This just shows ACG's lack of class and common sense, again...just imho. I bet that the enlarged check image probably cost 5% of the total donation. Too funny!
Regarding the wigs, I have a theory as to why the ANA execs did the stunt. When ACG approached them, they couldn't say "your smelly blood money isn't welcome here". They can't exclude members just because they don't like their "element" and refusing the donation would have opened up a huge can of worms. Instead, the ANA execs conspired to eliminate the legitimacy of the donation with the wig stunt. The photo opportunity was the ANA's "ticket out" if anyone ever criticized them in the future about accepting the donation. If questioned, they could say, "see, look at the picture, we were mocking them and their chump change donation". Have they ever pulled a similar stunt with other donations? I doubt it.
i'm not sure but i'm pretty sure they all have the same barber. maybe they get a group rate.
ps. where can i get a big checkbook like that? i want all my transactions to look ceremonious. just last week i had to buy dog food and pick up some shampoo and deodorant (big sale on "suave"). my big checkbook would have made it much more interesting.
