When the big, fatal limousine crash happened in New York a few weeks back, it seemed like there were GoFundMes being shared around Facebook before any details of the accident were released. I saw at least 6 different campaigns being shared at the same time the news outlets were beginning coverage.

It looks like now GFM has created a special page for the "event", and over half a million has been donated.

I can't even put into words why this makes me uncomfortable, but something about it feels skeevy. It's difficult to have a rational conversation about it without detracting from the tragedy itself.
