Ren sez, “Remember that ‘iPods for Congress’ campaign, where IPac sent free-culture-laden iPods to Congresscritters in an effort to educate them about copyright and technology? Well, some of the Senate campaigns returned the iPods without comment, including former presidential candidate/snowboarding aficionado John Kerry. The thing is, Kerry accepted $3.6 million bucks from the enterntainment industry before rejecting our $324 iPod. For the math geeks, that’s 11,214 times *more* in Hollywood cartel cash. So we’re auctioning his iPod on eBay! It’s an admixture of public shaming and fundraising, much like a digital dunk-tank. The proceeds will go towards IPac’s future electoral work, which has been going pretty well so far! We’ve raised tens of thousands of dollars, and 5 of our 6 candidates won their races in the last election.”
(Thanks, Ren!)
