If I had that kind of money to blow, I sure as hell couldn’t be spending it on Marilyn Monroe’s dress. Do you know how many f**king hungry people that could feed here in the US? How many people could be helped with medical costs they can’t afford? How many people could have shoes to replace the ones with holes in them? How many vans for a handicapped person?
