Unread post by Mattyf1209 »

Thanks

Well, I'm assuming it's possible, but it would be a horrible thing to do (I guess you know that)!
Plus, they probably don't sign for a "it's for charity", you probably have to explains stuff so if you're going to lie, you'll have to make a very well planned lie.
Oh, and some people see celebs and artists like these unreachable aliens or something, but if you're against lieing, then lieing to a celeb or artist is just as bad... and you SHOULD be against lieing .. {thumb2}
And you'll probably feel guity for lieing about charity.. that's just horrible.. :?

But hey, hope I helped !

I would Actually do something for charity. Say your doing charity and explain your selling it and the money goes to whatever charity. Ask if they could also sign one for just you because she's your favorite actress...

most people would want proof from the charity first before they sign anyway
Life its self is worth nothing, its the things you put in it that make it priceless

Besides that it makes you a horrible person, it actually is illegal to lie about raising money for charities. And there is jail time and a fine connected to it when you get caught. Also it would ruin it for people that are actually trying to raise money for charities, as celebrities won't sign anymore because of the fakes out there.
Don't even think about trying it.

That's true. It's one of the worst thing you could do for an autograph
