A new venture

We have been carefully watching the rent-a-friend industry in Japan for some time now, and we believe that we have a strategic opportunity therein. We are, therefore, announcing a partnership with Hagemashi Tai to provide rentals of some of the services the GNU Public Dictatorship provides. As of right now we haven't decided exactly which services to offer, but our ideas include

• rent-a-dictator: for countries or organizations that can't seem to unite behind a leader, we will offer (for a nominal fee) a leader behind which they will unite (or else...). We don't have plans to offer any support for transitions to other leaders or other forms of government...you're on your own after you stop paying the rental fee.
• rent-a-spy: many organizations would love to have secret agents but just can't afford them or can't seem to maintain the appropriate level of secrecy. We would provide a "proxy spy" who will then communicate with one of our certified operatives to help the renter accomplish whatever he or she needed to do. As espionage is inherently unpredictable we don't plan to offer any sort of guarantees on the success of a particular mission.
• rent-a-blog: many people have the heart of a blogger but just can't find the time or the stamina to keep a blog up over time. We would offer renters a complete blog for a person to use for a day or two, or however long it takes them to get tired of blogging. They would be able to leverage one of our already-popular blogs and not have to create their own identity, so it would be ideal for those that would like to dabble in it without taking on the full responsibility.
• rent-a-logo: creating a logo can be hard work, and when you tire of it and want to change you generally have to create a new one from scratch. We plan to rent logos to people so that they don't have to worry about selling their used logos back.

We have other ideas, but we don't want to tire you. If you have a specific service you would like to see, contact us here or at your local GPD office. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not resourceful!
