AS for charities, well we should try to stop world suck before it begins. Why not find a suitable charity that adopts children into good families?

It'll be hard to get everyone to agree to one charity, so... don't give to one charity. Find some way to divide the proceeds up.
For example, the first $300 made goes to the Make-A-Wish foundation, the second $300 goes to the Red Cross, the third $300 goes to cancer research, and so on.

For example, the first $300 made goes to the Make-A-Wish foundation, the second $300 goes to the Red Cross, the third $300 goes to cancer research, and so on. I agree, we should have a proper way of dividing money instead of just donating to 1 charity since then we can help decreasing worldsuck in many ways and not just 1 portion of worldsuck.. So we could: * (like Bree said:) donate the first $xxx to charity a and the next $xxx to charity b or * after a certain amount of time switch to another charity (after x months, years..(?)) or * after we make $xxx we give $x to charity a, $xx to charity b, ...

Er, actually, what I meant was... make a long list of all charties suggested, giving X amount of money to the next charity on the list every time you make X amount of money. You never give to the same charity (unless you run out of charities, in which case you restart).
You can't really set it up like the sales have an end point. They don't. You have to either say "All proceeds from [Date] to [Date] will go to [Whatever Charity]" or "When the proceeds reach [$$$] we will give [$$$] to [Whatever Charity]."
The former doesn't really account for the fact that sales will slow down. What if you set a time frame and you only make $10 in that time frame? Why even bother giving then, when you could wait until you had $100? The time frame idea really only works when you have cause that requires immediate attention and everyone knows it (e.g. the Earthquake in Haiti).
Does any of that make sense? I'm having such a hard time explaining this. xD

BTW are the products limited to shirt for now or might we add some goodies later on? Like the buttons that were suggested somewhere before because I saw a lot of different SPOTM goodies ideas around here but they never got to work it out (there were designs but no realisation)

Okay, so now that the charity thing is out of the way... I'm confused. How exactly do you plan on carrying this out?
Who will make the t-shirts? Who will ship them? etc.
<_<
There are actually a lot more details I'd like the answers to, so you should probably just... explain everything. XD

I'm currently making a design saying:
Smile (on) you're on SPOTM now!
-------------------------------------------
Should I include the "on" and should it be SPOTM or southpoleofthemoon.com ?
