Awful
I was about to post an entry about how I thought it would be a neat idea to get story suggestions from the schizophrenic/drunk hobos who chat me up on the subway. (It only happened twice this week!) Instead of trying to ignore them, I could tell them what Dr. McNinja is about and see where they would go with it.

But whoops! I remembered that's exploitation!

It's only exploitation if you coerce them into getting Dr. McNinja tattoos across their foreheads.

What you do is rate their idea on a scale from 1 to 20 and pay them that much in dollars. Then it's paid labor! That's how DC came up with Superman.

In one of my classes at school some kid was talking about how his project was going to be paying homeless people to bizarre things to people and taking pictures of them and my teacher actually had to tell him "I don't want you to exploit the underprivileged for my class."

Boxcar McNinja: The Fightin' Hobo Medic

Hobo God knows what Boxcar McNinja's keeping in that "Ointment Bindle" of his, but Jeremiah Lintbeard swears up an' down it talks to him at night. Darned if it didn't clear up that outbreak of thunder gout that hit the camp last season though.

It sounds like talkin' at you is something they'd be doing anyway, so why not use it? Use their talkin' energy to your advantage! This is what we call Recycling, not exploitation.
