Looks like gamers continue to level up their compassion skill. The Child's Play Charity has announced it has surpassed the $1 million donation milestone for 2008. Child's Play has collected over $3.5 million in toys, games, books and cash for various sick children hospitals across North America since 2003. This year Child's Play Charity drive expanded its efforts across the globe, proving that gamers all around the world conceal a philanthropic heart behind a rough, "n00b pwning" exterior.
Major contributing factors to this year's current donation total included a gala dinner that brought in $200,000 as well as proceeds from special PAX'08 Rock Band tracks, presented by Harmonix. And they say gamers are all ticking time bombs of hate ... Well, how much have you given to the Child's Play Charity, Bill O'Reilly? Putcha inside voice on then, son.

Wow, what a good story started then ending in a pitiful low-class shot to O'Reilly. Get some class Xav de Matos. Report the story and keep the negative remarks to yourself. Moron.

You're the ridiculous one for bitching about it.
Anyone who is in their right mind and actually tries to have a reasonably balanced take on the news and opinions, should know that O'Reilly is a bunch of bull crap, whether you are a conservative or a liberal.
Xav's story was fine, and in the end, his statement about O'Reilly was just to spark a laugh or a smile. If you're taking it personally, I guarantee you are looking way to hard into it.
