Prepaid Credit Card - The Nonsequitur, You Shouldn't Leave Home Without.
Spend like James Bond at a tenth of the price. You can now get an almost anonymous VISA card that allows you to buy stuff on the internet whilst staying off-the-grid. Just like you used to be able to get a numbered VISA card from Credit Suisse or UBS you can now get a card that you can load with good old anonymous cash at your local shops without the expensive hassle of operating a Swiss bank account. My mind is boggling with the nefarious opportunities this new product opens up... Vengeance on 419 scammers, irresponsible pranks on friends... it's all solid gold. My thoughts on the concept are that you can use the card in a similar way to the disposable email address you use to sign up for free stuff on the internet knowing full well that that address is going to have the bejesus spammed out of it. If this all sounds to you like a shameless ad for prepaid crdit cards... guess what... you're right, it is. If you all get a BOPO card I might get rich which is the first step in my two step plan to become a bum. The plan is quite simple:

Step 1: Get rich.
Step 2: Stop going to work.

I should probably write a motivational piece on bum-ism, maybe a book, and then become a life-coach. I hear there's some bloke in Scotland who is pioneering the intellectual field of 'Idle Theory'. Something about the orthodoxy of survival of the fittest being wrong, and the reality is that nature favours those that are most idle. I'm a fan, and I would look it up but I couldn't be bothered. In any case you should click on the BOPO link... go on, you know you want to just click on it.

I can't believe you've sold out and gone commercial! What ever happened to editorial independence! This blog is a travesty and strikes a blow to the public's respect of the internet.

Just checked out the website. bopo rocks! How handy is that going to be for transferring money to and from mates and for buying online with some anonymity. Brilliant!
(P.S. Who cares if you've sold out if it means we get to hear about cool products like this! Anything else you need to tell us about?)

Good question Osama, It's good for most things however the $2000 anonymity limit means you can only buy a couple of AK-47's at a time.

Thanks Paul. You the man. I won't forget to put my fake beard and sunglesses on when I go down to the newsagent to cash up my BOPO card.

Do they have Bill Express newsagents here in the 'Stan?

No they don't. It's only in Australia. But you can probably email Jack 'Jihad' Thomas to go top up the card for you. I hear they're dropping the charges.

Can I use it to discreetly funnel cash to contras, CIA stooges, pro-intervention mischief makers and the like?

Looks like it might come in handy for campaign expenses coming up to the next election. I'm trying to find a way I can stack party branches with it.

Bracksy, you and your lefty, big government, protectionist ACTU fat boy mates make me sick. Nonetheless thanks for the pooping lesson.

Mr Staugaitis
Now you can save for your wedding using a bopo card!

Steve & Vijitha,

Problem is that I'm a bogan and I'm therefore ideologically opposed to weddings (unless they're styled like Kid Rock and Pam's tasteful event). Wankers get married, Bogans live in de-facto relationships.

hippies live in defactos r/ships(tree huggin hippies).
Pammy and Kid Rock's wedding is to aspire to. Who wouldn't want a white bikini wedding? You should try to outdo them!

Your lack of recent posts scares me into thinking that you have a job, bogan.
