I was just in Times Square and David was there. A young man walks over and tells David that his Mom is in Haiti and he has not heard from her. David truly cared and took the man's contact information to get in touch with people on the ground. That is priceless and touched me, thank you David for what you are doing. I can't believe on here will discount it. He is in Times Square and working to raise money.

Also the Times Square security guard around him was a little annoying and pushy with the tourists, including pushing them on for photos telling one girl and this is a quote: "Don't worry I'm black and I'm gay"

i like the title. :)

Ill donate again if he WONT come to Times Square.

Gothamist can unload snark as soon as it donates money of its own to Haiti. So Blaine gets some promotion from his fundraising, so what? Haiti can use all the help it can get. Quit with the hipster cynicism, it's tiring.

If it's his own money. Cool. If its him self-promoting to get others to give, then I find it sort of gross. That's one sleazy half-step from profiteering from the dead.

I believe if Velvet went out on the streets and worked a few hours she could raise twice as much money as David could in half the time. She can also take that bitch good looking ballerina with her and double the earnings.

Amen, my Brother...AMEN!!! Velvet, if you are reading this..."call me". I will work you up one side and down the other.... Damn girl is FIIIIIINE!!

and yes you can bring your little ballerina friend.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? The man planned something to make money for Haiti 2 days after the earthquake occurred and will be helping. That is GOOD.

I'm torn between seeing this as truly humanitarian and utterly self-promoting. Impress me, David, and raise the dead.

The amount of money this guy must have, just shut up and write a check. You don't see Brangelina running a telethon; they ponied up a million bucks of their own money right away without any fanfare.

He could raise money just by smelling like Haiti.

If you could raise money for smelling like Haiti, I could take in several grand a day collecting at PATH stations!

Everybody wants to do their part, this is how David can...makes sense (and cents). Kudos Mr. Blaine.

My knee-jerk reaction is to call him an opportunistic prick, but after thinking about it a sec, I'd like to think that he saw the pictures that we all saw on the news and on the internet and is desperately thinking of ways that he can help.

If his stupid shtick raises money for Haiti, who am I to hate?

Agreed. Don't personally care for his shtick but the end justifies the means in this case.

Why doesn't he go down to Port Au Prince and stand in the basement of an unstable structure for 72 hrs? With enough food and water for an entire neighborhood and no means of self-defense?

Great Idea!

Advise to David. Put a shirt on otherwise you will be another individual added to the death toll.

This is the guy who spent a few days in an ice cube naked. He'll be aight.
