candy red sr5
blue dawn sr4 (in rack on stage right)

MM is really setting the standard globally. its the bassing comminuties version of microsoft

For those outside Oz, the concert Franky is referring to was a fundraising event for the Tsunami relief fund. Aussies donated $20m last night over the phone, on top of what has already been donated. For a population of just 20 million, that's kickass, and makes me very proud to be an Aussie.

 

[Franky]

agreed, and for those of you in one of the 120 nations that will be getting the "asia Vs. Rest of world" game tomorrow, it will be absolutly kick ass and will raise tons of cash.

The Warney shirt auction looks like a farce. High bid is $16m so far. Hmmm.

it is most likely a corperation. they can claim it as a tax deduction because it can be used as a marketing tool

Even Michael Schumacher only donated $13m. No corporation has gone near that amount yet. Given that corporations are owned by shareholders, I'm pretty certain they would need shareholder approval to donate $16m of their profits to charity. Looking at some of the ebay user names who have bid on the Warney shirt, I'll bet my left one that most of them are kids with nothing to do in school holidays.
