Korea's Narc Economy is Perfect for See-Something, Say-Something USA
"Snitching for pay has become especially popular since the world’s economic troubles slowed South Korea’s powerful economy. Paparazzi say most of their ranks are people who have lost their jobs in the downturn and are drawn by media reports of fellow Koreans making tens of thousands of dollars a year reporting crimes."
—I would be so into this catching on in America. If you see something, narc someone out and get paid for it! It'll end terribly of course but think of the stories! Think of the reality TV! Let's just go for it and wallow around in it.
Snitches get Stitches…poor Stitches, such a cute pup.
Didn't This American Life feature a sort of similar story last week?
@sox Stop snitchin'!
"He said to think long-term investment
and that all the others had forgiven themselves.
He said the net reward would justify
the colossal mess I'd make of my life."
