 02/09/2008 What would you do if someone turned around and said: “Help me clear-up these hypodermic needles from the back-alley” or something? You’d probably be like, “Schucks man, I’d love to, but (insert passage here).” Well, now Orange are giving people an incentive to help out their community by giving them tickets to see a ‘Top Gig’ in exchange. And not a hypodermic needle in sight.
Orange Rock Corps (ORC) gets bands and DJs, who they think are the doggie’s genitals, and books them to play at top venues like the Royal Albert Hall. Yep, The Royal Albert Hall… And then they give Joe Bloggs the chance to see them. People like you and I. Furthermore, it won’t cost you a penny. Zilch. Nada.
Here’s how it works: Users of the ORC website recommend charities and community schemes people can get involved in. ORC will select some of these and lay their cards on the table: “You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours”. Or rather: “You scratch the back of a charity or community scheme and we’ll send you to the Royal Albert Hall to see, I dunno, Busta Rhymes or The Guillemots or something.”
And here’s the thing. All you have to do is 4 hours work for a really, really good cause. It’s what we at Planet Notion like to call “A piece of piss”. So there you have it. A really cool incentive from an equally sublime website. For further information on Orange Rock Corps, including how to get involved, CLICK HERE. |
