The guys from the punk bank Blink 182 used to be famous for running around naked. See "What's My Age Again?" from 1999. But the band is getting serious in the wake of the Haiti earthquake, which devastated the island country on Tuesday. The band is selling $15 T-shirts, and donating 100 percent from each sale to the Red Cross.
The shirts feature the Blink 182 rabbit, a mascot of sorts, carrying a Haitian flag.
So far, various efforts have helped raise $35 million for Red Cross disaster relief in Haiti, according to agency officials.
"The response to the emergency in Haiti has been impressive and moving," with donations to the American Red Cross already exceeding the amounts received in the first 48 hours of both Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the Red Cross said in a message on its web site Thursday evening.
As of Thursday night, the Blink 182 shirts had already raised $5,000 in a matter of hours, according to the band's Twitter feed.
The shirts will start shipping on Jan. 22, the band says.
