They're about to throw him on the morning show circuit.

These donation things rub me the wrong way (Yeah I'm hatin)
It started off with a reasonable objective. Raise $5000 so this fool doesn't keep wasting 8 hours a day walking to work.

But now he's got an extra $125,000. What is the objective for that? There really needs to be a cap on these things. Like once you hit the goal, the drive stops.

But GoFundMe would never put a limit on it. They get a cut of every dollar raised, so they want that number to go sky high.

It really is an interesting insight on human behavior though.
If there was someone asking for money on the street and you notice him stacking thousands and thousands from passersbys, there's no way in hell you would contribute another cent to him.
But that concept doesn't translate over to the virtual world for some reason.
