* Twilightsucks.com is a forum for people who, obviously, think that ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and its fandom sucks, and Nuttymadam is a rather infamous Twilight fan who makes videos about [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow how anyone who doesn't enjoy the books/movies is crazy]]. But when the latter fell on financial hard times and made a rather heartrending video about it, the people who run twilightsucks.com set up a fund to bail her out, and Nuttymadam thanked them on her Website/YouTube page.

* In the 2000s Flemish radio presenter Peter Van De Veire from station ''Studio Brussel'' had a caller on air who wanted to request a song for his girlfriend. He told him that he wanted to hear "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks to let her know that their relationship was through and that she was a bitch too. Van De Veire lost his patience live on air, told the jerk his behaviour was low and said: "For you I only play [[Music/{{Odelay}} "Loser"]] by Music/{{Beck}}. Goodbye and get lost!" This incident has become infamous in Van De Veire's career and may be his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

updated info on Ben Carter's cup


* In 2016, Marc Carter of Devon, England, sparked a global search for a light blue (officially "pearlized green") two-handled Tommee Tippee cup for his autistic son, Ben, then 13, who since age 2 has never drunk out of anything else. Literally. He uses it for medicinal drinks as well as ordinary beverages. He once lost it and was hospitalized with dehydration. The cup was starting to fall apart, but Tommee Tippee had redesigned all their cups. Marc used social media, created the twitter tag [=#CupForBen=], and a Youtube channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDtU7kYG78GQW0Ug_zuOUYw Little Blue Cup]]. Soon tons of people sent cups that resembled the original, but Ben only took those that were identical to his (only the UK market had ever had that style in the Pearlized Green color).[[note]]Ben was able to use some of them to "transition" to get used to the idea of drinking from slightly different cups. Autistic facilitators take note.[[/note]] He and Marc were at a loss -- until Tommee Tippee found out about the search. Their Careline team actually ''reopened the factory'' -- it's in Dongguan, China -- and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuwBQUwyW3k found the mould for the original cup]]''. No leftover sample in the exact color was found, -- but the manufacturing tools were! To get the color exactly right, they made several and sent them to Ben so he could choose the right shade. Did they then make him one? Not even close -- they made ''five hundred cups'' for Ben! ''Free of charge, for life''. To say Ben was happy is an understatement. And if you're autistic reading this, you know the feeling. Marc is now crowdfunding a documentary film about Ben and his cup, and [[http://www.littlebluecup.org Little Blue Cup]] has taken to publicizing searches for particular items for other autistic people.

While it's very common for Israel to send humanitarian aid to various countries after natural disasters, it should be noted that Israel and Syria are in a state of war, and have never really gotten along. They're ''still'' willing to send aid and even take in refugees!

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Unh4v1lFU0 He carried the boy to safety,]] dragging him through a crowd as his crew and other Haitians helped to clear a spot for the boy to lay so he could dress his injury.

Emily Youcis is now an open Neo-Nazi and, thus, this entry is now in very poor taste.


* There are a few notable examples by indie animator Creator/EmilyYoucis. Yeah. That same self-described disturbed individual who produced [[labelnote:That series]]That being ''WebAnimation/AlfredsPlayhouse''. A horrific deconstruction of ''Series/PeeweesPlayhouse'', infamous in the internet undergroud, about a sexually abused pitbull who takes his revenge on the world by becoming its ruthless dictator.[[/labelnote]] Well, In 2015, there was an autistic fan of hers who enjoyed roleplaying her character. When Emily discovered him, she thought he was so cool that she tagged him in an official post for the Alfred Alfer movie so that she could share some of her fame with him. Now ''that'' deserves an award on its own.
** In addition, Emily is known to spotlight fan artists of hers on her Facebook page to thank them. She makes a lot of friends with average artists and does her best to appreciate them. For some of her fans who were going through some hard time of their own, she would draw them personalized art. In general, Emily does not care is fan art is "canon relative" or not. She encourages fans to use her work to follow their own dreams. Just as long as no one claim ownership of her character or produces anything sexually harassing.
** In case you never knew, she works at the Phillies Stadium selling snacks (her nickname is Pistachio Girl) as her day job. One day on the job, while toting her snack tray a fly foul ball landed near her feet. After picking it up, she saw a couple young baseball fans and tossed it over to them. If you can find the footage, you can see it obviously made their day.

* In 2017, [[https://www.nj.com/union/2017/02/st_johns_cyo_girls_cant_play_with_boys_basketball.html A fifth grade basketball team]] was told that their lineup, which included two girls due to the lack of a separate girl's team, was illegal, and were given an ultimatum to either remove them, or forfeit the rest of the season. The team unanimously chose to forfeit, eventually [[http://www.nj.com/union/index.ssf/2017/02/new_archbishop_says_girls_can_play_ball_in_coed_co.html getting their way]], and [[http://www.nj.com/union/index.ssf/2017/03/champs_coed_cyo_hoops_team_wins_finals_after_fight.html going on to win the season.]]
