Socks For Africa

 Wool aisle be damned.
 
(+1, -1) 		  [vote for,
against]

Just another example of confusing, inscrutable, misguided international largesse.

       Darn apartheid!   

       So we're charitably donating billions of socks to a continent that can be in part identified by the notable portion of its inhabitants who lack shoes?
—Alterother, May 08 2012
   

       That's pretty much the whole point(less) of the exercise, right there in one sentence, [Alter].

       I think my socks already disappear to there.
