Have kids sell them!

The other day the doorbell rang and my girlfriend went to open it. There stood a little boy, seemingly lost and afraid of the world. He eventually managed to explain that he was selling small books full of different coupons with sale offers. My girlfriend really didn't want this, nor did she feel like spending the money. However, she like so many others can't help but feel an obligation to be nice to the kid and spent the 100 Swedish Crowns anyway.

So now she's sitting there, with a stack of crappy coupons on her hands and the kid is running around somewhere with a deviant grin on his face.

This is a brilliant scheme used for a long, long time; having kids sell stuff because people "just have to be nice to them". That's why I'm thinking about gathering up a troop of children (maybe using candy, I hear that's the most effective way to have them follow you) and having them run all around Sweden selling my privately developed indie-games!

Pure genius!

Please, Mr! I'm selling these fine leather jackets.

Oh, and btw! A new awesome game design project, somewhat similar to my blog is taking off on monday. Be ready! More info on monday!
