Sponsor a Lampost

Runs on the same lines as ‘Sponsor a Whale’ and animals of that ilk, with the exception that you are sponsoring a lamppost or some other silly item eg a house brick or a piece of cow dung.

The idea is to raise money primarily for charity as well as yourself by producing a humorous quarterly newsletter of articles centred around the chosen item eg ‘diary of a lamppost’, ‘famous dogs that have peed against me’ etc. The idea is aimed at the novelty/alternative gift market and the newsletter should not take itself too seriously.

       Often, when describing something that's supposed to be humorous, it's better to either have the concept speak for itself or to actually be funny - explicitly saying that something will be funny often just makes the reader miss that humor right now, even if the author is in fact capable of making good on the promise.

       The previous annotation is a lie - the previous annotation is funny.
