Does anyone else think that "Toxic Drop" is a pretty sick ploy on part of gaia to make profit from the oil spill?
User Image


Actually yes. Only donating 10% seems very low to me, since there is no production cost. They're making a 90% profit off of the oil spill, and the idea of cute animals being harmed in one.

Yep. No production cost at all, 'cause nobody pays artists.

They pay the artists to render the images once, not once per sold item neutral It's not like they're losing profit from materials used in each item they sell like other business making, say, jeans or tables or whatever. Weather they sell 1 or 1,000 of them, they payed the artists the same amount, and I doubt it cost them 90% of what they were expecting to make. They're clearly trying to pitch this as a donation thing but run to turn a profit.

Fine...then don't buy anything. No one is forcing you to. rolleyes

I have no intention of buying one. That is not what this discuession is about. confused Saying "If you think this is a scam then don't buy one" in an attemp to to stem complaints is a very lame comeback.

Now they just have to make a RIG of cats......
If they do that I'll break the bank going for it. No joke.

Same here. Oh god. I'm a Crazy Cat Lesbian.

Bahaha. xD
So I'm not the only cat freak on Gaia!

>Implying Gaian artists get paid per item
ITT; ignorance

I'm more bothered by the fact that Gaia didnt state which fund the money would be donated to then the amount actually being donated.
No fund listed, no way of telling who is getting the money or if anyone is getting the money. For all we know it could be going to PETA or some other batshit fundraiser company. Yup, I'll stick to getting these in the MP. If I want to donate, I'll donate to a fund I'm informed about myself.

I agree. I'd be pissed if it didn't go towards a fund that actually deserves/needs it.
I was thinkin someone should ask lanzer which fund it is going to help at ATA surprised

A chance at Lucky or Kitten Star or ....eeee. They could price it like this and even include things like mewpit and I'd still buy until I got a Lucky.

For every toxic drop you buy we give a whopping 50 cents to the oil spill!

Seriously Gaia?


.:HEARTLESS SHAPESHIFTER:.



Something is better then nothing I guess. It's kind of wrong... and not awful at the same time. I wish they were more specific about where they were donating the money though.... >.>

Dawn soap gives $1 off their $3 soap and that was before the oil spill happened.


.:IN THE SHADOWS:.

That actually is why I always buy Dawn. Have used it to clean up some birds too. *Is in Louisiana*
