    We should start a prius group on this site: http://www.facesofplanetearth.com and do it for the environment. we could all link our blocks to PriusChat, and start our message with PriusChat: for the environment

    or something.

    problem is that this page takes forever to load for me. It says loaded 11 items out 15 and I see nothing. Then when I try to close it, it freezes my browser. So, I don't feel like doing it for the 4th time

    Uh, I went to the mentioned website. What on earth does owning a Prius have anything to do with racism, PETA, Greenpeace, ALV, etc...??

    I would assume the owners of Prius's are relatively intelligent and successful people who are not inordinately associated as opposed with a cross section of the general population with the above groups.

    Plus the website seems to be scam of sorts. In the FAQ apparently only 20% of the profits go to the charities (if that is actually true). Why not just contribute directly to your favorite charity?

    do you?

    I don't, but I bought a block on the site. Everyone i show it to thinks it's a great idea. and it's 50% to the charities.

    I guess it's a site that takes a snapshot of people from the planet and is something that will remain for years and years to come.
    even if it didnt send half the profits to charities, or have a humanitarian theme, I'd still buy a block, cos it's just cool :)

    and uhh.. scam? how can it be a scam when you get exactly what you pay for? What the owner does with the takings is entirely up to him.
