こんなメールが所内に回った。実にばかばかしくも面白い。

"A friend of mine is a member of breedingground, a Brooklyn-based
group that provides support for a range of emerging local artists
by producing their work, providing a network for artists to
collaborate, and through its publication, Readingground.
This year, breedingground is raising money for its Spring Fever
arts festival through a "Fall Crawl" during which they will
literally crawl about 1.5 miles through Park Slope - god help them.
I hope you'll consider sponsoring a crawler - the price is
certainly right: for $1 you get three feet of crawl, 75 feet
for $20, and for $50 a starving artist will crawl 175 feet for
you and you alone. This is a small organization and any amount
of money you can give will make a big difference."

特に注目すべきなのは、クロールする距離。多く支払うと距離が追加される。飢えたアーティストが坂道を這っている姿は想像するだになかなか面白い。というか、そこまでしなくとも、donationしてあげようという気持ちにさせるところが実に巧い。
