While looking at Twitter for the 800th time today, I read a random tweet about raising money for charity. When I clicked the attached link, I landed at Charity Bribes, a new site aimed at convincing celebrities to “do a little awesome for a lot of good.”

Basically, the premise of the site is as follows:

• Users generate and vote on ideas, as well as the charities that will benefit from them.
• Every month, a different bribe is chosen.
• People join the bribe by pledging money.
• Charity Bribes contacts celebrity to pitch the bribe.
• Celebrity has 30 days to complete task.
• If said bribe works, pledged funds go to charity. If not, nobody pays.

I LOVE this idea! Not only does it get people who wouldn’t ordinarily give to charity excited about the process, but it makes donating fun! I mean, who doesn’t want to see  Morgan Freeman spending an afternoon narrating user submitted animal videos? OR see a picture of how Donald Trump’s hair looks when he wakes up?
