GOP Points: Be an evil shitbox, get stuff
I am NOT making this up:
http://www.gopteamleader.com/faqs/faqs.asp#gopoints
"What are GOPoints? How do I earn them and what can I use them for?
"Upon completing Action Items, Leaders earn GOPoints. These GOPoints can be redeemed for Team Leader gear ranging from leather PDA covers to folding chairs. Leaders also earn GOPoints when members upgrade to Leader status (5 per leader). The GOPoints section keeps record of how many GOPoints you have, and displays which items you can get"

The actual point system is laid out after that (eg 5 points per report provided from what you hear on Talk Radio Shows) but you can follow the link if you're that morbidly curious. Most likely everybody in the world but me already knew about this crap, and maybe we do it, too. But it just seems so, I dunno, tawdry? Fits somehow though, doesn't it? Just like Marlboro smokers.

3. Bribery and fear.
Vote for me and you'll get tax cuts and LIVE.

Vote for the other guy and he'll tax you at 110% and evil terrorists will sneak into your house and eat your dog and kill your kids and cut your nuts off.

4. wow reminds me of those
basic points , you know the cigarette rewards for slowly killing yourself.

I smoke every now and then (after like 2 I can't stand them anymore and can go months without even smoking again), I like cigars. I watched someone smoke like a carton every other day and was proud of a jacket they got for all the points they turned in. sad

5. How Many GOOP Points For A College Deferment?
Also anything for the number of yard signs the hitler youth steal?

Now it'd be interesting to find out who supplies the prizes and let them know the goodwill their working with these fascists means.
