And considering it's not dollars to dollars, prob more analagous to giving a $5 spot.) <p> Anyway, you're right: nobody HAS to give. And we wouldn't chastise someone for giving $50 to VT or Katrina or whatever. But we also wouldn't have our publicist make sure it was reported. It's kinda embarrassing. Hence the douchiness. i think the difference here — (by the way, given his income last year, it’s the equivalent of someone making $100k a year — not a small amount — giving $48.
