Found this on boston.com looking for fun things to do this weekend.

I made it to 31 seconds. Can anyone beat that?

Can't watch it........Ellen has always rubbed me the wrong way. Not even a little funny in my book.

55 seconds!.....but I had the sound on mute!

Ellen was pretty darn funny (to me) when she was doing standup... problem is she got a talk show (good business move for her, see what Opera did with it) became a celebrity and has to make boring conversation with famous people interspersed with interviewing cute kids and giving stuff away.

1:20! Beat that!
Pretty cool what she did.

(Ellen aside :rolleyes:)

I love how some people do things like this. It gives me hope.

Thank you Peter. I was amazed, seriously, completely bowled over by the teacher. She's 1 in a million, that's for sure.

A Unicorn, according to that guy with the hot/crazy chart...

I guess I should have posted how some ill-tempered, vapid, self-aggrandizing movie star elite did something stupid, people love that sh it. Would go on for pages and pages.

Heck I can't get it to load.

That's seriously cool. I forwarded to my brother and his wife (they're both middle school teachers at a charter school in MA - not the same one, but still...)

Shameful how much money we throw at education only to have so little of it land with the teachers and students. I Really hope those kids get some benefit from those donations. They deserve the chance to do well.

Yeah it's a feel-good piece but so what? Those are good every once in a while to remind us that the world doesn't COMPLETELY suck.

Love or hate Ellen all you want but this has really nothing to do with her.
A few people do something good for others, Ellen brings it to a bigger audience and all the discussion is about how we don't like Ellen.
We need to get some focus here.

She's very, very sweet and generous and seems to be a great person. I suspect she's got a pretty high crazy quotient going on.

Amazing person. It's heartwarming to see/hear this sort of thing. I'm certainly not as generous as she is. I'd love to be extraordinarily wealthy and able to help people, but I wonder when I would feel wealthy enough.

I think it's awesome how someone with fame and fortune regularly uses it to help other people. I have no desire to be rich/famous, but would spend my spare time doing this sort of thing, given the chance.

Can you just tell me so I don't have to watch the video?

I'd enter the lottery and hope to get one of the 60 versions of this:

I've often though if I won the lottery, I would do things to help people who didn't expect help, I could pick out various members of the community that try to do good, and reward them with physical and financial help. I think that would be so uplifting to my soul to give away what I don't need and to help people who are down on their luck, or having a major health concern, or even a single parent that is struggling.

Sure I would buy myself some nice things, and secure my family's future, but I would set aside probably a vast majority to help others.

I don't agree with Ellen's lifestyle, but her heart is in the right place.

Cool chicks. Both of em.

I would not have to work for 6 months
