It's a little cheesy, but downright brilliant in terms of introducing a some fun into a wonky cause. Americans for Tax Reform came up with an interactive slide show called "Card Checked: The Game," where you play the role of a talented tattoo artist at a shop that's being infiltrated by union activists. If you keep refusing to join the union, your car gets smashed, you're scared to drink at your local haunts, and you start using sharpies instead of tattoo pen to do your work. Definitely worth 5 minutes of your time.
