This whole "kickstarter thing" is weird. Someone needs cash for their project and offers you incentives to contribute. Sometimes the incentives are of some value other times the incentive is that warm feeling you get when you give someone money.

Don't get me wrong, I have actually sent money to one of these. I kinda knew the guy and felt like it was my way of contributing to the arts for him to release his album. Plus I got a signed copy (or I will when it releases.)
