Former Beach Boy Brian Wilson on his website has made an open offer that if you donate $100 for Katrina victims, he will will give you a call on your phone and answer a question of your choice.
True to his word, people have actually testified to receiving calls from him after they made the donation (courtesy Boing Boing).
I wonder why celebrities in India cannot do something like this in the times of Tsunami or Gujarat Earthquakes. A similar offer by people like SRK, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Shekhar Suman or Sachin Tendulkar would do magic to calamity donations. What we do see them doing, though, is participating in an all-star show the proceeds of which they claim would go into a relief fund. And we all know how much an educated man trusts such claims.

This is something I wonder about too, I guess it just isnt't the way things work here...I remember all the solidarity concerts that happened after 9/11.
But one silver lining is the effort made by the general public which always come forward even if it needs some tax benefit annoucements from the government. :)
