The Onion Reports That Brendan Fraser “Would Like to Apply For a Kickstarter”

Debate continues to go on about whether or not established celebrities have the "right" to use crowd sourcing funding websites like Kickstarter to fund their projects after a Veronica Mars movie and Zach Braff's next movie received significant funding through the website on the behalf of fans' donations.

Debate continues to go on about whether or not established celebrities have the “right” to use crowd sourcing funding websites like Kickstarter to fund their projects after a Veronica Mars movie and Zach Braff‘s next movie received significant funding through the website on the behalf of fans’ donations.
