The Suzanne Wright PR stunt

I am talking, of course, of A$.

Obviously not written by me.

Probably no need to discuss it, just wanted to share the article.

Wow. To meet an Arabian queen... Must have been quite an honor! I got all flustered just bumping into the town mayor on the street when I was a kid. I'd really make a fool of myself I ever met a lady like that.

The rest of it was rather interesting. I haven't done much digging into the personal lives of the people behind that thing. A lot of the motives make sense now. I still don't agree with their message, but now I know where they're coming from. How petty!

I've never like A$ if they really wanted to help, they'd use those millions to do some actual good, instead of pointless genetic research that could take another 50 years or more. What they don't understand is, there's a here and now, and they aren't focused on the here and now. How they legally get away with taking donations in the millions, then using the majority of it on stuff that they're not advertising it'll be used for, is beyond me.

I always thought Suzanne Wright was a nasty piece of work - this is the proof.
While it's my hope that people will soon see Autism $peaks for the corporate, fear-mongering monster that it is, Suzanne Wright is definitely not a person I'd like to run into any day of the week - although I'd do my best to stand my ground if I had to.
