Melissa Gorga, along with Kathy Wakile and her sister, GayRosie, have joined with a local dentist in a “ToysForTots” drive…
“Exclusions Apply”??? Hmmm…. after perusing Dr. Rauchberg’s site, it seems that you must already be a patient and your friend also has to get some dental work done… or you won’t be eligible for that motorcycle with four wheels! BUT… if you’re thinkin’ of finally gettin’ some teeth work done, you better double-check with their office to make sure you’re entered for that luxury car!!
NOTE: Here’s probably the “exclusions” which would eliminate YOU from winnin’ that Bentley RollsRoyce Mercedes Lamborghini Fiat:
- You must have become a US citizen in the past six months
- You must have at least THREE brothers… all whom need major dental work
- You must have donated one kidney to a complete stranger
- You must bring the doctor who performed the kidney surgery to your dental appointment
- You must speak Russian
- You must be proficient in playin’ the accordian
- You must sleep on only 2300 thread-count sheets
- You must wear a LaPerla bra to your dental appointment
- Men must wear Timberland boots
- You must never sue Dr. Rauchberg
- You must NOT like Fiats
(Thanks to SH reader “KK”!!!)
Sounds kind of like a con using con artists to me. It just reeks of odd. If it’s only toys for the kids – hooray, but the major prize give away is over a year away. If a business uses this group to attract clients doesn’t speak we’ll of the Dental Office. Oh my Rosie, Queen of Mazel, is now a star draw like the Starkist tv star. Amazing.
I wonder if this is the same dentist that “fixed” Richie’s teeth by replacing his front teeth with chicklets?
This post was darn funny to begin with. Ms SH’s commentary was even funnier, but the Chicklets comment just put me over the edge! I needed a good belly laugh this morning. Thanks!
LOL! They really do look like glowing chiclets. Too funny. You’d think he’d want a natural look, but he went in the opposite direction (ie clearly fake).
I that that fake, denture look has become the style.
Oh Tracey, I was thinking the same thing… You know that it is… Has to be. Lol. Chicklets. LOL..
Richie has a flipper ala Toddlers and Tiaras. This is probably the dentist who mmade Richie’s flipper , only explanation for chiclets teef.
LMAO… A flipper…. Good one Aint
Flipper — that’s priceless, Aint.
Thanks y’all. That was my first thought when I saw Richie’s new teefs.
I like how it says ‘Bring your camera and take a picture with the cast of RHONJ.’ Since when is Rosie a cast member? Also, it’s not ‘the’ cast it’s part of the cast. Not the good part of the cast either, IMO.
A dentist who raffles a car to gain patients? NO thank you.
You always have to wonder about doctors that have to advertise to get patients. My doctors get their patients through word of mouth, which is a good sign.
If I won that car I’d get in it and drive away as quick as I could so I could avoid that pack of pigs.
You might be able to outrun em
What a funny bit, Made.
LMAO…..made, your comment had me cracking up! Seriously, I got tears in my eyes! What a great clip too. When we were little, didn’t we all wonder why Fred didn’t just run to work?
Oh yes.
LOL, I didn’t.
I didn’t either Hers. Guess it just didn’t occur to me LOL. My 4 year old was watching and asked me that very question. I’m like, why didn’t I think of that? *blush*
I’m kid of embarrassed now, too — lol.
I didn’t either… I thought that his feet must have hurt…. But Barney needed a ride!
Too funny!
You’d think they would just donate $20k worth of toys, that would go a long way! Winning a car for donating a $10 toy sounds a lot like getting a Chanel bag at a charity function.
Yeah, this whole thing confuses me a bit… I’d rather donate directly to the families in need vs do it through a dentist in hopes of winning a car.
Ditto. When I want to give to a charity, I write a check. I don’t have to buy a dress and go to a “gala” or other event. I appreciate that my pet charity doesn’t spend money on all those stunts.
Yes, exactly!
So true! Its bizarre how charities have become social events, like you have to be served top shelf drinks and steaks just to help people.
Or a Chanel purse on the corner in New York. Actually I have done this, it was fun getting it…fake but fun..
I would love to have my picture taken with any of them. I can for once have a picture of myself I would actually like. I can guarantee I would look better next to those two mouth breathing booger eaters Rich or Rosie!
GREAT comment, Mouth.
These fame-whores are SO PATHETIC! I’d rather have all of my teeth knocked out, instead of showing up for a free dental check up where their lame asses are, including Rosie!!!
Why are these people always involved in ’causes’ that appear shady?
I could not agree more. How do they pick a charity? Its like they dont attemp to screen them at all. Shady people check Weird prize no one can win check check… ugh
Probably because shady “charities” are the only ones that offer kickbacks of some sort.
Does anyone pay any attention to what these folks are pushing? Even if you’re a fan of this group it just seems odd. & I’m sure you can give to Toys for Tots directly. I think this is the same charity that the Marines in our area sponser. I may be wrong but it’s this one or one with the same purpose.
Only one people pay attention to is what teresa does.
Maybe, it IS the same one, and you can donate money or toys at at least a thousand places in most areas or online. Sounds to me like this dentist is using a good charity to drum up business, and these famewhores are using it to get publicity.
It’s the same one maybe… Toy for tots… The marines do this every year… My husband was a marine, well once a marine always a marine…Vietnam…
They are out there doing a good thing for all the kids in the area who’s parents can’t afford toys. I am sure that number is up this year due to Sandy but most here have forgotten that the purpose of this was Toys for Tots. Does it matter how many groups work toward the same effort? Bottom line, its for the kids.
Rosie’s Napolean Dynamite glamour shot is hot…said no one ever. I think the exclusion that applies is that they don’t have a fiat. IJS
Yeah, Mego ego is flying high on that A list, Doesn’t JLo do meet & greet at dental offices
And sing at Flea markets? Now that’s hot…..not.
Long time lurker (love the site Ms. SH), first time poster. I scrolled through the comments, hope this is not a repeat… but didn’t the good dentist have someone “proof” the “invite”. I can’t believe this went out with the word “eligible” spelled ELEGIBLE… perhaps that is the exclusion as no one is actually eligible to win.
Has everyone missed the point. IT’s Toys for Tots. I cant belive that everyone has forgotten that there is probably alot of people in the NY and NJ areas that cant afford toys for their kids. So sad.
Who does this crap? Just ask for donations for Toys for Tots and list your office as a drop off site.
It’s all just window dressing. All the dollars wasted on advertising, appearance fees would have purchased more toys than will be collected.
Exactly, Aint, I was thinking that, and didn’t know how to word it.
Lots offices and stores ect around here have drop oiff sites for Toys for tots and other Charites around this time of Year. Last place I wokred we had food and Toy drives around christmas and the various Clinics were drop off sites. I dont see what the Big crime is.
Aint, that’s been my point all along. My pet charity doesn’t spend any precious donation money on these publicity stunts, and they do great.
May I clarify and please point out that I did not infer or say it was a crime?. My point is that as a person with a background in volunteering for charities and serving on charitable boards I find this suspect. The questions I ask always is what is the best use of resources? Why spend 50,000 on a huge party and then donate 10 or 20 meager gifts? Is it about one’s ego or promoting one’s business or is it about genuine concern for underprivileged children. Money is dear and not always as in great supply. Is this about promoting the dental practice or is this about Toys for Tots? If I am asked to donate a toy why would I not question what the expense dollar to donation ratio is?
Ain’t: It’s clearly about corralling in new patients! Pathetic. TFC!! SH
Well there is that angle true.
Do you think it’s a typo that drawing isn’t until 2014? Why would the Doc wait a year?
Brown: NOT a typo… Dr. Dentist needs new patients!! AND… not everyone reads the fine print! He’s counting on that!! TFC!! SH
MY dentist gets his many patients by word of mouth, and I feel much safer in his chair that way!
This is my dentist and he’s done Toys for Tots every year. He also collects Halloween candy and sends it to the troops overseas. The Fiat and RHONJ comes across as a little desperate but his intentions are good.
