Bailout Bill











Used as a publicity stunt, Bailout Bill was handing out at least 50 dollars per person down at Union Station. He was promoting http://bailoutbooth.com/, a website created for people to pay to produce creative commercials to pawn their possessions. He said he could, like GoDaddy.com, produce short commercial clips to air during the Superbowl. But instead chose this way to encourage the website, which helped hundreds of people. He said he gave at least 50,000 just at Union Station, but more cash giveaways are planned for Boston and Philadelphia.

This a really interesting idea. I am kind of curious to see how it plays out. It might be just the kind of therapy people need. They get to vent and then get cash at the end. It sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I would totally talk for money.
