[Whiterose.org] A Perfectly Cromulent Blog: A throwaway reference to Spears/Federline in my Idiocracy review apparently prompted a certain someone to lob me this little news item, for which I have sworn upon the altar of Wotan eternal hostility against them:

[Productivityshock.com] Productivity Shock: Last month someone announced that they were giving away free wristbands that said "I buy goods from poorer countries." So I ordered one, then received an email stating that they were "out of stock."

Even then, profits are rare.
