Money for nothing?

So immune are we to scams and marketing schemes with catches, we'd turn down the chance for a free handout of hard cash it seems, according to a post on the A-list blog boingboing.net

If only 28 of the 1800 people took up the offer as reported (a measly 1.6%), then it only cost Money Supermarket (the organisation behind the sandwich board) 140 quid (275 USD) to fund this guerilla stunt – a stunt that's getting coverage all over the blogosphere and beyond. Money well spent, if you ask me.

Shoot!

It's standard procedure to have a cop on your set when shooting in Thailand, though you don't usually need one when doing casting – but I suppose that's what you get for doing a screen test in a BMW.

We left the scene (of the crime) with the talent's portfolio and he left with a 500 baht fine (around 15 USD) which the agency later agreed to pay. The cop performed admirably, refusing all bribes offered to him from my art director in the rear of the car and only pretending to notice my camera towards the very end of his monologue.
