Gil Promos

Corporate Kickstarts Intro

After tapping on Gil's Corporate Kickstart mark The city is broke, people! We are hemorrhaging money and need cash fast, or we'll all be selling our likeness to T-shirt companies. But Moe, not you. I could pull the city up by its bootstraps... No! We will not turn to you again to solve our financial crises. You could all turn to Gil! Mostly 'cause I lost that vertebrae in my spine that makes ME able to turn to YOU.

Corporate Kickstarts Wave 1

After completing Corporate Kickstarts Intro Big Business to the rescue! Stock your Springfield with corporate juggernauts and get donuts back with every purchase. Ha-cha-cha! When does 'er, the traditional political "palm greasing" come into play? Every franchise contract comes with a standard government bribe. That is very comforting. If the offer is accepted Oh, boy! This could be Gil's biggest break since both my thumbs! If the offer is declined Oh, come on! Now the bank is gonna repossess the flaps on my cardboard box. It gets chilly without the flaps...

Corporate Kickstarts Wave 2

After tapping on Gil's Corporate Kickstart mark Ol' Gil's back with a brink-of-bankruptcy bookstore! Get bargain basement prices on this dying medium. Books will always have a place in yard sale milk crates and on the shelves of penniless schools like ours. If the offer is accepted A sale! At this rate, I'll be eatin' broken hotdogs and bathing in briny hotdog water by Sunday night! If the offer is declined Just you wait. Ol' Gil will have the last laugh when you wind up on the street with him. And I've got the best spot out there – under a nice shady tree and out of the mud puddle splash zone.

Season Premiere Heights Multiplier

On September 30 Let us reap the rewards of selling out to our new corporate overlords. On behalf of Globaltech-Omnidyn-Synthecorp, we'd like to give back to the social elite who so often get left behind. Huzzah! Why should the poor be the only ones who get to suckle at the teat of government subsidy? I wonder how much I could get for my other kidney...
