I was (yet again) pondering the various problems of this world. One I took particular notice of (and has been a hook in my mind for a long time), is the problem of poverty, especially in third-world countries (PC, my ass, I'll call it what it is, not some fancy "developing country", you and I both know they have no future, except perhaps amalgamation into my empire). This problem struck me as one that has an easy solution, but a tricky solution. I did the only thing I could, I went to sleep. Sure enough, I had a solution the next morning.
I propose that we use paupers and poor people of all kinds, as advertising space. While I'm sure the idea will shock and appall some people, simply due to it's simplicity, and cause some readers to hit themselves repeatedly with an open palm on the forehead while yelling, "Why didn't I think of that!?", I'm sure I can win my critics over. I propose the use of homeless people and beggars as cheap, affordable advertisement in the startup niche sector of the economy. Consider this scenerio:
Company A is just starting up. Most people don't know about the existance of Company A, nor do most people know what products or services they offer. Company A wants to rectify that situation in hopes of increasing their revenue, while spending as little money as possible. Let's say that they can not afford billboards or tv commercial spots. What do they do? They find some beggars, and negotiate a contract that is beneficial to all parties. The company may just have to offer a warm place to sleep and two meals a day to keep their beggars happy. Everyone wins.
This also has to potential of creating more jobs related to the Beg-ad sector. An advertising agency could specialize in beggars and homeless in certain hot-spots, or keep a warehouse of beggars to roam the city advertising the company, product and/or service.
