2nd Place Is A Set Of Steak Knives...

Sun media rolls out its new "points for performance" system at the Winnipeg Sun:

A story is 2 points; A photo is 2 points; A brief is .5 points; Special features are 4 points; Columns are 3 points; Videos are 2 points; Web posts are .5 points; "Writethroughs" are .5 points; Tweets are .5 points (minimum 5 tweets).

No word on the sanction for not making your quota. Rumor has it under-achievers will be forced to co-host a talk-show on SunTV with Ezra.

Reminds me of the "token economy" system my Mom ran in her special needs class back in the 60's.

It reminds me of scooby snacks.

Social Credit? Time to revive the old cartoons about Aberhart? I aways liked the perpetual motion wheel of buckets with their weight written on them. Each bucket dipped into the water and weighed 6 pounds going up and 9 pounds going down.
