Really?? you are NOT that funny.

Leave it to a Texan to think they're more important than they're not.

Please top trying to create controversy where there is none. She was invited to the Expo by the guy who played Chewbaca and they wanted her to sign autographs.

Peter Mayhew, the actor inside the Chewbacca costume in the original Star Wars films, invited Payne and her family to attend the Fan Expo Dallas convention on June 3 to 5, with VIP passes for everyone (they normally cost $419 apiece plus fees). According to the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, Payne will be posing for selfies at the convention with anyone who pays $20, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Oaks Fellowship “All-In,” a Christian ministry initiative.

I personally think she should make her living do it. She's a stay at home mom. Charge $25 or $50 for like like birthday wish videos. Hell she might get tired of doing them so maybe she should charge $100. Do a few a day. It would be an amazing birthday gift for a young 20 year old addicted to his phone. Get her to wish him happy birthday.

She is hilarious.

She thinks she's more important than she's not? What the hell does that even mean?

Man, Star Treck fans are the worst! So annoying.

I bought mine. Bet it'll sell for twice that on eBay.

She is definitely not funny. Maybe to a 2 1/2 yr old, or the current "Idiocracy" crowd...

Shes making money off this the honest way, unlike Hillary Clinton. Clinton created a massive hedge fund that traded $250,000 speeches for access to government favors. Didn't matter to her who you were. Foreign governments and corporations got what they paid for. That is not making money the honest way.

I heard the money was being donated to charity.

Wow. This seems crazy to me. First of all, I didn't get why that video went viral anyway. So, someone thought a mask was funny. Big deal. And, why anyone would want her autograph let alone pay for it is beyond me.

I don't blame her for raking in the money for a while if she can -- good for her. I just don't understand at all the appeal.

She's donating it to the Trump presidential campaign.

This comment in particular is stupid on so many different levels it's unreal.

0/10, as if there were any doubt.

It's stupid on a grammar level. On the level of mocking Texans, it's spot on.

If people are willing to give $20 for her autograph that's their problem, not her fault.

And she is pretty funny.

Her bit on the James Cordin show with JJ Abrams was pretty good.
