Το εύρημα της εβδομάδας, του μήνα (Μαρτίου), του αιώνα: Αν βάζαμε την Ελλάδα στο Kickstarter, αυτό το crowdfunding site που βοηθά ιδέες να βρουν χρηματοδότηση από τον κόσμο, τί θα έγραφε η σελίδα της; Από το McSweeney’s:
Greece is a small country in the south of Europe known for inventing democracy and western philosophy and for its national motto, “Release the Kraken!” Our shores are a popular destination for backpackers and tourists wishing to relax amid sun-drenched beaches by day and intoxicated British tourists by night.
We wish to continue this good work, but to do so our creditors are demanding €14.5 billion ($18.6 billion) by March 20. We do not have this money, nor do we think we can raise it in time: Our asset sales have gone nowhere, and the EU has nixed our plan to close shop and re-open a few blocks away as “Greeze”. And so we come to you, our friends, for help.
Άριστα δέκα για την ιδέα, ένα σεμνό επτά για την εκτέλεση, αλλά τί ιδέα!
