Desert Bus for Hope - an unusual charity event

[Deadfast 43]

I stumbled upon this unusual charity event called Desert Bus for Hope.

To be put simple, it's a bunch of Canadian comedians from LoadingReadyRun.com who torture themselves playing the most boring game ever, Desert Bus, for charity donations towards Child's Play. They do so nonstop, for as long as people donate money. Drivers swap each 4 hours, but most of the time others are present to entertain and accept various challenges in exchange for donations (such as singing various songs) too.

Oh, the whole event is transmitted real-time over video stream :D.

This is their 3rd annual, currently at 3 days and 16 hours of continuous play with over 63,000 USD collected (they collected 70.5k last year).

On the other hand, they only have to add crappy roads, high fuel prices, badly manufactured Asian cars, traffic accidents, car jackings, as well as drunk, drugged, violent, overworked, stressed out drivers and passengers, senior citizens driving on the wrong lane and other maniacs to make it 100% realistic :p

A real scale 18 Wheels of Steel game would have been interesting.
