All this talk of desert Islands and violence has given me stroke of inspiration! Forget pirate and his flakey business model invest with me and I can offer money you've only dreamed of with a completely transparent business plan:
We get a film crew onto an isolated beautiful tropical Island along with 40 contenders each from different countries kitted up with a grand in cash strapped in velcro around their chest and a pair of boxing gloves.
With that battle royal type film that recently came out still all the rage this could be the show of the year with only one rule, winner takes all!
We could get an old chinese guy that looks like something like a Chinese marshal arts master to sit on a high chair looking down at the action and doing commentary as everyone battles for the glory of their country and the hope of walking away with 40k cash.
A television company in every country in the world would buy rights to this, after all who in the world wouldn't want to watch contenders from every corner of the globe kicking the shit out of each other with the ultimate goal of walking away with a handsome sum of money.
I think we could do this on a fraction of the budget you guys have donated to pirate and produce something really spectacular that could go down in television history.
If anyone's interested I'll cost it up on a spreadsheet, only serious investors contact me I'm looking for a minimum of 1000 bitcoin contributions with returns on a pro rata basis.
Think ya cant? bit ya can! Bitcoin
I want to help.
I have a degree in film making and sound engineering and am currently a sound technician.
I worked 2 years for TV, mixing sound for big live shows like MTV awards
5 years sound and light in opera and musical
7 years sound in rock n roll in summer.
I can set up a rider of needed equipment and organize the technical dispatch/install.
I'm not cheap though, but can reach the quality demands easily.
-I don't think "boxing gloves" would work well though.
-the chinese guy has been done before, people will call it rip off on launch. launch day is the ONLY important day.
-non lethal weapons don't work on TV, as they don't look dangerous.
-You need nearly(-but-still-non-)lethal weapons like tasers, gas grenades and pepperspray.
Very good drama, makes nice pictures.
-And the money should be stored centralized as gold coins in a treasure, it would enhance the effect of unreachable and big treasure+ a nice picture for commercials.
-We should call it "Pirates!" and dress everyone up like a pirate. Drop them on the island with a big drama scene of a shipwreck and a lot of Hans Zimmer music. po po po poooooooo da daaaaaaa etc
I'll start a new thread about it and PM you the link let's make it happen I half 1/5 a million and some good contributors and we could have ourselves a TV show!
