Be a Good Guy… And Regift This Fruitcake

By Andrew

If you want to do something charitable this holiday season but don’t know where to start, don’t have much to spare yourself – or just don’t want to get off your fat, lazy ass (hey, that’s OK by us), all you have to do is add this “Regift the Fruitcake” Facebook application.

Built as a “viral charity campaign” by PayPal, “Regift the Fruitcake” has teamed-up with six celebrities – Pete Wentz, Nicole Richie, Joel  Madden, Tony Hawk, Jimmie Johnson  and Ben Roethlisberger – to regift digital “fruitcakes” through the Facebook application. Those lucky enough to receive one of the celebrity fruitcakes can then donate to that celebrity’s charity of choice and have a chance at a $100,000 grand prize ($50,000 to you, $50,000 to a participating PayPal charity).

PayPal has already donated $20,000 to each of the six celebrity’s charities to get the ball rolling. All you have to do is click a freakin’ button…
