I'm no digit expert but shouldn't the sum invested in TV advertising for something like this be counted as actual prevention campaign or w.e.? Seems like a bit too much of sensationalism is going on.

But yh' they paid her way too much. Scam?

edit: Which would make the amount invested in this campaign to 200k, her salary being 262.5k that ratio would be 1,3 time higher and not 7.

I'm not trying to make it acceptable or anything, I'm just sayin'

Why is she famous again? Oh that's right, she was the pregnant unmarried daughter of an ultra conservative political figure.

One thing that family has is a good marketing team.

Bristol Palin for President!

With a scam like that, she could erase our national deficit!

Something tells me that this nonprofit is going to have its tax benefits revoked pretty soon.

I know you're not arguing otherwise, but that's still a really horrendous ratio. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

So arithmetic isn't their long suit. Never let the facts get in the way of a good Christian conservative bashing.

Oh give me a break. Are you intimating to us, even with the adjusted numbers, that something isn't fishy here?

The fleecing of America and the veiled corruption of youth via fake celebrity: ok by bjabass!

I wanna see how much other celebrities make for their non-profit appearances, speeches, and other similar things.
