Just another incentive to vote

Courtesy of Ed (who got it from Wonkette), it seems that porn director Seymore Butts (of ADVENTURES OF…fame) is offering some goodies to people who turn up to vote today:

PORN director Seymore Butts — star of Showtime’s reality series “Family Business” — is giving away dirty DVDs to anyone who shows up at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square tonight with proof of having voted. “We’d like them to vote for Kerry, but if they voted for Bush and come to get a free Seymore DVD … well, that’s a little telling, isn’t it?” he says. Butts and porn starlet Mari Possa will distribute DVDs to randy voters beginning at 6:30 p.m.

All kidding and dirty jokes aside, I wonder if this would have been a good way to promote books: a free giveaway of, say, an overlooked midlist author to anyone who shows up to vote at a certain polling station, with books changed every hour. So you do your civic duty and get a free book by someone you might not ordinarily read. Something to mull over, perhaps…in time for the next big election year of 2006.
