   About North American Halloween Prevention Initiative
The North American Hallowe’en Prevention Initiative is on a mission to stamp out the scariest of holidays: Halloween.

The NAHPI effort is centered around the song “Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en,” written and produced by Nicholas Diamonds (Islands, ex-Unicorns) and Adam Gollner (Dessert). This song’s inspiration stems from a frustration with other benefit songs’ misguided, somewhat patronizing attitude, and Western-centric worldview. Hallowe’en is primarily a North American holiday, and this song asks the rest of the world to help us end this night of fear and terror. It features the following cast of NAHPI supporters:

Arcade Fire's Win & Regine • Beck • Buck 65 • David Cross • Devendra Banhart • Dessert’s Liane Balaban • Elvira, Mistress of the Dark • Feist • Les Savy Fav's Syd Butler • Islands' J'aime • Malcolm McLaren • Nardwuar the Human Serviette • Peaches • Postal Service's Jimmy Tamborello • Redd Kross’ Steve McDonald • R.E.M’s Joey Waronker • Rilo Kiley's Jenny & Blake • Roky Erickson • Sloan's Chris Murphy • Smoosh's Asya & Chloe • Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore • Sparks' Russell Mael • Subtitle • Sum 41's Stevo • Tagaq • That Dog’s Anna Waronker • Wolf Parade's Dan & Spencer • Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O • Gino Washington

The single will be available digitally on October 4 and will hit stores on October 11. All proceeds will be donated to Unicef, in support of the annual Trick-or-Treat for Halloween, wherein kids go door to door collecting funds for UNICEF.

Ok so now is the time, better now then never to tell you the truth about what all girls have on their mind and how they lie when they say that size does not matter. Take it from me, I am living proof that can confirm for you that the size and thickness of your prick does mean so much to all girls and if you can not satisfy a girl like the guys with big meatpoles do, then they will find a guy who can.
My bro Sammy heard about these enlarge pills on myspace a few months back and he ordered like nine bottles of the stuff, I know cause I found them stashed under his bed and he caught me snooping then told me all about his secret and that they made him grow almost 3 inches in two months and it got real thick too. He got them from this site just copy and paste it in your browser. GTORON.COM
Best of all, the pills do work, Sam is living proof and I have no reason to lie for him, all the girls surround him now like he is some celeb, and he says its all cause of these little goodies from GTORON.COM
Oh ya, just so you know, they guarentee that the pills work on any man or you get whatever you paid right back, so instead of thinking about doing it, just go to GTORON.COM now and show the ladies what you are made of.

Can we stamp out Christmas while we're at it, and ban the sale of fireworks and their use except for at organised events because my dog hates them. And while we're at it can eveyone's but my birthday be cancelled next year because you all suck. Bah! Humbuggers. xxx
