Since I have promised to stop browsing my usual social media haunts while at work in an attempt to deliver more accurate results I’ve taken to reading the news; mostly the Toronto Star and it has certainly served as a good way to keep me entertained while not distracting me from my work. Today I came across an article about VW’s initiative called The Fun Theory and I am in love.

In my last post, I talked about what your thoughts were on making the world a better place… and this idea that we can make the world a better place by simply making things better/easier/more fun for people to do has made me feel so good that I just had to share it. There have been three experiments conducted so far, and this one is my favourite:

The Fun Theory is actually a contest running from Oct 1st till November 15th where first prize is €1,500. That’s like a gazillion Canadian dollars and like a fazillion¹ US dollars. So if you have a great idea, enter! You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain: fame, fortune², and a better world! Do it. Do it now.

What do you think about The Fun Theory?

Footnotes:

1. because of the current almost par dollar exchange rates *at the moment*; also faziiion is obviously not real word… I went one back in the alpahbet. You know, in case you didn’t get my bad attempt at humour there.[↩]
2. ok maybe just a few extra pennies in your pocket[↩]
