Let's be honest: the traffic in Seattle is so bad, I don't think anyone would even notice the extra wait.
To bring a day of happiness to a kid struck with cancer...nothing can be overboard. Amazing story. Freakin I can't stop crying.
I got caught in some that traffic. I was wondering what the hell was going on. Should have known it was Electron Boy! What a freaking awesome story. I have no problems with losing a bit of my day for something that cool. Makes me proud to live here where that many people would go to so many hoops to make a cancer kid's day.
Way to go Seattle. I'm already quite emotional from this medicine I'm on, and reading this, just started crying. It's always sad to hear when young kids have serious health problems. At that age, it should be nothing but good times and good memories.

Compared to Los Angeles city workers drinking on the job, driving company cars while drunk, and going to strip clubs on the job on our hard earned tax dollars, which leads to freeways not getting fixed and expanded and leading to congestion anyways, this is by FAR a better alternative. No one likes inconveniences, but if you're getting inconvenienced 300+ days out of the year, might as well make 1 of those days for a GOOD cause.
That's what I thought at first. But then I thought 'Screw it, it's worth it for a little boy suffering from cancer, and give him the best day of his life'. It's worth it to help somebody make their dream come true.
<img src=http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/kickass_red_mist.jpg> this is the first thing that came into my thoughts when I read "kid with cancer gets to be superhero for a day" hahahahahaahahahaha
Fear the Electron Boy! So how did this start? Did he always tell his mum he wanted to be a superhero and she told the MaW foundation? Or the foundation actually asked him themselves... cus that would make it obvious to him. Btw did anyone else think of this? <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="424" height="373" id="videovatPlayer" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.videovat.com/videoPlayer.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="flashvars" value="videoId=970" /><param name="allowFullscreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.videovat.com/videoPlayer.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="videoId=970" width="424" height="373" name="videovatPlayer" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed></object>
Am I missing something? Isn't this kid still dying of cancer? When he wakes up after this cruel day of make-believe, and no one is around to pretend he has superpowers? False hope is still false. Mass delusion is still delusion. This story is only more depressing.
