Corporate America has found the Secret to Free Labour.

that's right.... "corporate America" has found the secret to making people work for free without getting paid.

How you say? it's called CONTESTS

Here are a few example.

"Grease" the contest to become Danny and Sandy. Contestants are singing,. the're dancing, the're acting, etc.. generating millions in revenue for the networks, not getting paid a single cent.

"American Idol" , same deal. skyrocket ratings.

"The Apprentice" , same deal. fighting to become the next Trump A$$-kisser.

Superbowl commercials - GM ran a contest for someone design their SB commercial . Very nice way free labour.


contestants (ie. suckers) are more than willing to work for free for these companies, to humiliate themselves, generate millions in revenues... for the chance at fortune and fame.

You want free labor these days? Run a contest and make them sign their rights away. Sign on the dotted line, please.
