Those products cost money - and that money is deducted from the donation.  Therefore, it's less efficient than a direct donation.  You don't even know how much is going to Japan and you're still defending it.  
Given all of the above, how on earth can you still claim that all incentives are the same? 

You'd criticize a charity if it were inefficient, but not a charitable fundraiser?  the profits


What supreme is doing is very efficient they recognize they are an extremely popular brand the most effective way for them to get donations is to use their customer base who are into clothes to buy t shirts.they wouldnt get as much money donated than they would have with a direct donation .You even said something like that about the caps.

Why don't you go back and actually read what I wrote, because I've explained the distinction a number of times now.  
People are already interested in contributing to disaster relief.  If they weren't, they wouldn't be interested in Japan merchandise.  It's not like ALL of Supreme's products are used to raise money for charity, which would allow them to translate that interest in their products into charitable contributions year-round.  So, you're taking people who have an interest in giving and you're offering them an easy way out by allowing them to buy themselves a present at significant expense in a time of crisis and then sliding an unspecified amount to charity afterward.  You have no idea how much that is, so calling it "efficient" is a real leap of faith.  

It's funny, because so far everyone's talking about the people this is good for in the abstract, how there are "some people" in the world who are too selfish to ever donate and that this is the only way to extract contributions from them.  Okay, fine.... but what about YOU?  Knowing this isn't as efficient as a direct donation, would YOU still prefer this over a direct donation?  If so, why?

The point's a very simple and obvious one:  this is not as efficient as giving directly.  It would be less vulgar to give directly to a relief organization and then staple the receipt to your chest.

Ill adddress the bolded in a minute.
Like I said for a business like supreme who know they move products extremely fast they can raise money faster by selling shirts than they can with direct donation on their site.

The bolded you read but did not comprehend that I said for supreme that it is way more efficient and effective for them to do it that way.They wouldn't get much money from their customer base through a direct drive.You know yourself your children's defense donation wouldn't have made as much if it wasn't for you selling those niketalk hats  .You know from what you have done on this site through various donations the main thing you do is set up some form of incentive your t-shirts,your hats,your sneaker auctions and these badges.So clearly you have practiced indirect donation before and it has proven to be very efficent . The majority of these things you done had a cost and the money you made had to be split up between the shirt manufacturers and other individuals .So you have a history of indirect donations sir and its proven to be extremely efficient on this site .So don't knock supreme for what they do and say its selfish and what not.

Also would I buy a shirt or anything yeah I would. I bet im selfish like the other 9,999+ members who have bought shirts,and caps.
