HEY, ALL YOU PATRIOTIC, SECURITY-CONSCIOUS AMERICANS! Holding a special sale or a grand opening for your business? Well, guess what? You, too, can increase your bottom line by doing something Very Special For the Children, thanks to Our Fingerprintin' Friends at Operation KidSafe. (Note the BIIIIIG tall buildings covered in American flags? Is that a Really Cool subtle patriotic message about the dangers we face from all those Evil Outsiders, or what?)
You've heard about these Fantastic Nationwide Tot-Printing Events. But did you know that you, too, could Drive Traffic to Your Event or Move More Cars At Your Dealership and have a Great Family-Friendly Promotion by fingerprinting kiddies? I didn't know, either, until Jim Bovard shared the following Really! Exciting! News Release! with me. But now ... well, I just can't tell you how overjoyed I am. And I just can't wait! Maybe next year we can have DNA-collection events to promote sub-prime mortgages! Iris-scanning to sell more french fries! Or how about educational faux arrests sponsored by Corrections Corporation of America to teach families to support their local for-profit drug warriors?
Isn't American go-gettiveness just wonderful? Oh, and by the way, when you read all about how Operation Kidsafe SafeStart Events are "serving" kids and families, it would be shockingly unAmerican of you to think of any old Twilight Zone episodes. Keep Your Thoughts Loyal and Your Kids SAFE! And keep those used cars moving!
