They’re raising $4700 for 15 episodes, $10 gets you stickers; $25, a tee; $35 a DVD, and there’s lots more. Basically, the rewards are just thank-yous, you’re really just contributing to an excellent cause: free gonzo educational Internet materials for all!
We’re excited about this season! These episodes are going to specifically answer questions people ask Google about how the Internet and media work — found via Google search autocomplete. We’ll be directly educating people who are ready to learn, in short, funny videos.
