Civic Snooping for the Greater Good

City governments are rolling out �civic snooping� programs that encourage neighbors to spy on each other for points. Eyewitnesses report citizens earning rewards for reporting suspicious recycling habits or unapproved porch d�cor. �I got 50 credits for tattling on my neighbor�s gnome,� bragged one participant. Anonymous staffers revealed the program was inspired by video game leaderboards. A fake poll showed 44% of Americans find it dystopian, 37% support it, and 19% just want gift cards. Economists argue the program could save cities millions, though sociologists predict the death of block parties. For now, civic snooping proves Big Brother isn�t watching�you are. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
