Most of you are probably not aware of this, but Steve Harwell, front man of 90's sensation Smash Mouth and composer of all those songs from Shrek, has refused an offer made by the Make a Wish foundation to eat 24 eggs on camera for charity. He hasn't simply declined, he has flat out ignored their request along with the cries of the hundreds of Smash Mouth and charity fans pleading him to do the right thing for no good reason.This kind of behavior is not only rude, it is completely unacceptable.

Thousands of dollars have already been pledged to help save dying children and more is coming in each day from charitable donors around the world, but Smash Mouth still refuses to listen. We are going to have to make them listen.

That is why I would like to ask you, Giantbomb, to help out this great cause and get Steve Harwell to eat 24 eggs on camera to help save dying children.

If you hate dying children but also hate eggs, this also works.

If you would like to help get the word out then here is what you can do: tell everyone you know, reply to Smash Mouth on Twitter, post on their facebook wall, comment on all their youtube videos, and send emails regarding your disappointment in Steve's refusal to help save dying children.

I know if we work together we can help Smash Mouth eat 24 eggs and make the world a better place.

Here is a song a guy wrote about the eggs.

I wouldn't eat anything I didn't want to for charity or anything. Why should he? Why don't the people that are trying to make him eat 24 eggs just give the fucking money? That's what's really selfish. Trying to making some one do something they don't want for Charity sounds like an ends to a fucking means to me.

EDIT: I'd eat 24 eggs....

If they were scrambled and served with bacon.

EDIT 2: and free

While I don't agree with Steve Harwell's decision to not help Make a Wish Foundation, I do respect his freedom of choice. Anyone who has a problem with that should just donate money to Make a Wish and get over it, let the guy live his own life.

Hell, let that charity give those 24 eggs to starving kids instead of wasting them.

Maybe the dude doesn't like eggs. I hate sour cream, to the point that it makes me feel a little sick if I so much as touch a dollop of it. If you told me you would give $200,000 to charity if I ate a tub of sour cream, I'd have to pass. Then I'd ask why you're such a jerk that you have $200k lying around, ready to give to charity, and you won't. If I had $200k to spare, I'd give it to charity without thinking about it. I wouldn't make someone do something idiotic before I donated.

I Googled: "steve harwell eggs make a wish" and this thread is the only relevant thing that comes up.

That is the dumbest thing I've heard today. Why force a man into eating 24 eggs when he clearly doesn't want to? Why not ask him if he'd do something else? That's over 5,000mg of cholesterol and over 1,700 Calories! Are they trying to kill him? I love eggs, but I wouldn't do that either.

You can't make someone do something they don't want to, and shouldn't stigmatise someone for living their lives how they pick

I think it's even ruder to volunteer someone else to do something for charity, and ruder still to imply that that person is being rude after declining the offer that they so rudely volunteered for him to do for them. 
 
...and then using dying children as the tent post of their argument is just icing on the cake.

The guy who started the challenge stated that the lead singer from Smash Mouth could eat just 24 egg whites served  in any manner he pleases.  This isn't Cool Hand Luke.  
If it were me and I was part of a 90's pop band I would eat a 24 egg white omelet with spinach, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Won't somebody please think of the children?

I wonder what his reasoning behind not wanting to do it is. 
 
Also don't take this the wrong way but I feel like these requests from this group turn out to be more demands of whomever they are asking. It is a weird situation...

People shouldn't be guilted into charity. He doesn't owe jack shit to anyone, and he's under no obligation to waste his time like that. Why do people feel like they should be compensated for donating to charity - if anything, that makes them selfish.

Oh fuck off. If you want to donate to charity, go ahead- just don't expect anything in return. Nothing's stopping these people from donating the money and saving lives except their selfish desire to see some famous guy humiliated.

What I find odd is that someone wouldn't give thousands of dollars to charity unless Smash Mouth ate 24 eggs.

This is dumb as shit, maybe if they wanted to do something more meaningful than have a guy eat 24 eggs on camera, but that is just stupid.  I don't really blame the guy.  He might even fucking hate eggs.

Exactly my thoughts on this.
