WHY?

WHY? is in the business of writing about you. Once a month, they hold a contest on their website for a fan to win a theme song, with lyrics based on what the band can find via internet stalking and accompanied by a handwritten congratulations and instructions. The call it the Golden Ticket, and this month they are auctioning it on eBay where 100 percent of sales will go to relief for Japan. The bidding starts pretty high at $550, but not only would you be receiving a personalized theme song, you would be aiding those in need who are suffering from the effects of the earthquake and pacific tsunami.

You will also find on their eBay account several other items that will be auctioned for the benefit of Japan, including limited edition records, handwritten lyrics and drawings by the band. So even if you don't have that much cash to dish out, and still want to be charitable while loving WHY?, there are some opportunities for you to make a contribution. Below you can watch a message from WHY? discussing their motives behind the auction:
