Pixar grants dying girl's wish (in Off-topic)

Rather sad article.

Yes, just read it.

At least Disney did something nice for her and the family.

Poor little girl. It's so sad when people die so young.

“I’m ready (to die), but I’m going to wait for the movie,” the girl replied.

That is SO SAD! :(

She was so close to death that she could not even open her eyes to see the movie.

Yes, it is extremely sad. Sometimes I question my piety when I read and see these things.

:( Very sad, a reminder of how fragile life is. It makes me smile when companies go out of their way to help people in this kind of situation. Very heart warming.

Not really on topic with this, but kind of similar, did anyone hear about the WoW player that Blizzard gave a single unique mount to back in Burning Crusade? It was a modified Pheonix (which was rare enough as it is, with most servers having zero or only 1).

So out of 10 million people this cancer kid had the only one. Pretty neat of Blizzard. (I know there are tons of stories like this, but it was on my mind after reading this story)

Only thing that bothers me is...

...people are going to be calling them all the time now, hoping to get the same favour. Some legit, but some completely faking a dire situation.

It does not take anything away from Pixar's nice gesture, though. Total class.

People will always try to abuse generous people, whether it be an attempt to manipulate an individual or a company.

They will almost invariably be revealed as slimeballs.

Always makes me happy to see the world isn't completely devoid of compassion.
