Bag of salvation

Woot?  You, know, Woot?  That wacky corner of e-commerce where, each day, they offer (many of) one wacky item and write snarky copy to get people to buy that one thing?  Once in a while they’ll grab a bunch of their odds and ends and sell them, without disclosing the contents, as a “Woot Bag of Crap”.

With me? 

A Woot Bag of Crap just saved the life of someone in Haiti during the earthquake.

If this random weirdness gets you in a place the former news hasn’t, there are links to donate to charity on the Woot blog where this story showed up.
