Couldn't they have just covered the rest that he needed to reach his goal? Not like they can't afford it. Still a kind gesture though.

Or they could have donated $1,700. Or nothing. No reason to criticize charitable donations just because you think their bankroll can afford more, they probably have other charities they contribute to as well.

Yeah, the extra 10K would have broke them. Cheap bastards should have given more. About this, there can be no debate.

Stop bullying Coldplay.

Cool.

You are beyond apples and oranges here.  For one thing, Dave Grohl retweeted the article.  Second it isn't about fake movie shit, it is a real philanthropic deed done by a musician.  Thus mtv.com is appropriate.

 

Next time I will go to salon.com or economist.com to appease your tastes.
