Saw this the other day, had a good laugh. Wonder what they'll actually do with $30k if it gets funded. Seems like an awful lot of money for what it is. I assume they set it unreasonably high so as to make the social commentary without having to follow through.

Or it's cover to buy a nice 3D printer.

I showed this to a cow-orker today and he responded with this kickstarter project :

My housemate showed me that, it is hilarious! I seem to remember him offering poems in the early stages of pledges, but I can't seem to find it again. Come to think of it, poetry is often used as bargaining leverage on the internet.. I've seen elsewhere people promising poetry in return for a oneplus one invite. If it's a profitable form of currency, hubski could do well. We have some great poets here I've seen :) Oh I just re-read that and realized the amount of alliteration that's in there. Irony. Puns. Sorry. Tired.
