Having had a few friends use Kickstarter to fund their small projects, I am intrigued by the new wave and use of the site that is taking over Hollywood. Perfectly notable celebrities, most recently Zac Braff, have begun using Kickstarter to fund their movies when they could potentially be fully supported by the studios. Because of studio politics and creative differences, more and more celebrities are heading to Kickstarter to have fans fund their personal projects. Initially an avenue for indie artists, developers, engineers, and creatives to raise money for their projects, Kickstarter has become a branded outlet for “easy money.” With the heavily reported “Veronica Mars” campaign succeeding, and now Braff’s campaign, The Huffington Post shares a humorous video about crowdsource funding on the web.

Sounds like you need to start your own GI Joe campaign. You'd be Iceberg, right? I remember that toy in the drawer.
