    Default Sharon Stone raises $1M in Davos...in 5 minutes.

    Sharon Stone apparently joined the movers and shakers in Davos, Switzerland and made an impromptu plea for donations to buy mosquito nets to help rein in malaria. She started by pledging $10K. Great donation, but the woman drives an Aston Martin so I think she could have pledged at least $25K or $50K.

    I guess "Catwoman" tanking kinda hit her hard...

    Either way, it's an interesting story.

    Just cant make some people happy i guess.
    She didnt have to do anything.
    She raised 1 mil,and gave 10K.
    Thats more then i did,and im sure more then most here on the board did,and most people around the country or world for that matter.

    You dont demand charity,you are thankful for the offerings.

    If it is supposed to go by income and percents,alot more people need to cough up some cash!

    Thank you Miss Stone,1 mil buys alot of netting.Mission acomplished.

    Didn't the Bill Gates Foundation already donate even more money for this same purpose?
    Oh well, the world definitely will be better off with more money to fight malaria. For only
    about 80 cents you can dip a netting in insecticde for a child to sleep under. For less than
    $100k you can help prevent malaria for every child in Gambia (the world's malaria hot spot).
    For such little money, so much can be done. In fact, I planned to do it single handedly if
    I ever had the financial means. Sharon Stone didn't need donations, we could have done it
    all by herself if she cared to.
