_why is offering you something

The page has changed since this was posted. Originally it was in the style of a kickstarter campaign, offering 'something' to anyone who paid $20. He made a self-effacing joke about capitalising on his recent exposure. He said He could ask 25 or 30 but that would be too much, and 20 is the base. There was an actual PayPal button. At least one person paid, but received a refund. Now it says everyone is getting a silver comb, but I expect the page to change again soon :)

Thank you _why. I needed this to get off my mind from today's events.
