Jesus needs your money

by Joel on September 9, 2010

Okay, so maybe not Jesus, he’s probably pretty loaded. Unless he lost it all in the dot-com bust or has a gambling problem.

So, anyway, he’s good. We, however, are not. Well, I mean, we’re fine. We’re okay. We’re not starving or taking things home from our offices and trying to sell them only to find out nobody wants a used office phone or some cabling I found in a filing cabinet.

But, the thing is, booze costs money. And since we at Special Pleading are pretty big proponents of the Life, What a Fucking Disaster™ drinking game (you drink every time you’re sad) we need your help. See that donate button over yonder? We’d really like you to click that and send us money so that we can drink beers and other things that make life okay for a little while on the show and be funny for you.

You don’t have to send us money, though. We’ll still keep on doing the show. We just… we’d just really like to be a bit happier. And we’re pretty sure that just one more drink will do it. Just one. I mean, after that, we’re good. We’ll be happy for real and we’ll be nicer to our families and we won’t even just want to keep watching Up even though it makes us sad and we’ll come to bed at a decent time and not just pass out on the couch every Tuesday.

So, yeah, please donate, won’t you?

EDIT: Great point from Ben in the comments! “Oh! OH! Oh! We’ll probably maybe do stuff for money too. Let us know what you’d like in exchange for your donation (once it has been made) and we’ll consider it (with no guarantees and absolutely no chance of a refund).”

You’re welcome,

- Joel, Ben, and Amy

NSFW language.
DO NOT WATCH if you can be offended by anything.
Actually, you probably shouldn’t even watch this at all.
If you still do, you were warned and you can’t blame us for anything.
