And how is $2,000 going to prevent Betty White from dying?

He is going to fly to wherever she is and stand guard until 2017. If she agrees to it; otherwise he will donate the funds. As I mentioned he has already met his goal. I don’t know if she will accept his offer however. Video
Who else should we protect for the next day and a half @Darth_Algar ?

O….kay…...

I mean I guess that’s fine if someone tries to break into her house, but if she, say, suddenly goes in her sleep (she is almost 95, it’s been known to happen) what’s he gonna do?

“Who else should we protect for the next day and a half?”

- I neither know, nor do I care.

haha no

No. It’s ridiculous.

LOL! I heard Betty White even donated to it!

No. I wouldn’t donate.

Who should we protect? Serious answer, nobody.

Non-serious answer. These people are at risk and still doing business, so I’d like them to stick around.

David Attenborough is at risk.
Paul McCartney.
Keith Richards – but I think he might have made a pact with the devil and taken out his own insurance against death.
Mick Jagger and the other Rolling Stones.
I’m sure there are lots more I haven’t thought of.

Most of the Who?

Yep @rojo! I’d like to keep all of them.

Honestly though. She lived long enough.

John Cleese
Michael Palin
Eric Idle
David Attenborough
David Jason

Betty White will die of fright
Though will remain undaunted
Poor soul is so very old her pussy it is haunted

David Attenborough was born in 1926. My husband’s dad was born in 1922.

I’d be more concerned about keeping Ruth Bader Ginsberg alive for the next 4 years…
@Earthbound_Misfit: My friend and I were positing the Kieth Richards/Dorian Gray theory…

Sally Field
Tom Hanks
Edward Asner
Michael J. Fox
Lonesome George

This is irrational.
Betty White is nearly 100-years-old, she is most likely to pass away of a heart attack, stroke or natural causes in her sleep. A bodyguard can not prevent these things.

Carrie Fisher’s, Debbie Renyolds’ and Alan Rickman’s lives could in no way have been saved. Perhaps not George Michael’s, Alan Thicke’s or Prince’s either but I don’t know the details of their deaths.

No. It makes no sense.

IT WAS JUST A JOKE YOU GUYS!! Lighten up!

@Patty_Melt Lonesome George died in 2012.

That was true, but there is reason to believe a few of his kind have lived on a nearby island and remained undetected there until recently.
The search is still on for his KIND.

Well, they’ve found some hybrids on one of the other Galapagos islands. But Lonesome George was the last of his purebred sub species.

@Dutchess_III

It’s a bit beyond “just a joke” when someone is actively soliciting money for it.

Though I suspect this person’s true motivation is just a quick cash-in. I’d have more respect if he just straight up asked for money with no pretense.

It was a joke, @Darth_Algar. If anyone was dumb enough to pitch in, that’s their own fault.

Oh well shit, since it was I joke I suppose we shouldn’t comment on it. Might as well delete this entire question/thread then.

Yep. Or not. Makes no difference.

I like Betty White but I think I would rather donate to “delay-social-security-til-im-70”
