Recently on MSN, they offerred $25,000 grand for the right idea.

So I pitched my idea which went something like this:
25K's not a lot of money. First I'd buy a Santa Outfit and large Red bag. With the rest of the money I'd buy as many of those little whiskey bottles as I could. Then on Christmas day I'd fill the bag with the little bottles, walk around San Francisco in my Santa suit and hand those out to the homeless. First of all, alcohol will help kill some of the germs they carry which may help them live a little longer. Secondly, they're obviously down on their luck and can't get out so a little whiskey would make their Christmas a happier one....
Well, MSN sent me an email back saying they rejected my idea and won't post it! So what's wrong with the idea of helping the Homeless by giving them what they want on Christmas day? Should we just deprive them of their only pleasure because we dislike them? Tell them all to go get jobs when no one will hire them? Let them sit out in the cold on a day everyone should be happy/merry and feel miserable since we don't like them?
How about show a little class.
