Trade off your morals for discounts exists. 100% discount if you steal it.

I saw a phone number on a toilet wall that said "For fun call 07etc etcetc"
Underneath someone had written "Why? Do you have a bouncy castle?"

Trans-American Pong sounds like one of those ideas that's really cool in theory, but practically, it's a logistical nightmare xD

As a person who used to collect bathroom stall phone numbers:
It's a mixed bag. Some match the name, some are just random people because I assume they guessed the number, some are the person who wrote the number, some are just numbers slapped together and don't work.

Tom: "have I ever told you about Realistic Heron Simulator?"
me: "did... did he just predict Untitled Goose Game?"

Great idea on paper: The ballpoint pen

For the "we might call you" idea...

Have people send you a text to enter their phone number into the pool. Much harder to send a text from someone else's phone than to enter it into an online form.

Can you do another "Guess where we are by the latitude and longitude" so that a lucky winner may know what in the hell protest clock is?

The 'get through December without hearing Fairytale of New York' idea sort of exists. The difference is that the song is Last Christmas by Wham. The game is called Whamageddon.

I'm starting a petition for Tom to release the protest clock joke

The "exchange your morals for discounts" idea sounds like something Cards against humanity would come up with

@themapew 8 years ago

if you were just gonna cut out the good part of the protest clock idea why would you even keep it in my mind? just cut the whole part out so i wont be thinking about what your idea was and how it could possibly be used for evil

Depending on how far it goes the "compromise your morals for discounts" idea is either a cards against humanity Black Friday prank or a Black Mirror episode.
