Something a little different: Dan is begging you for money. To make something really dumb:

WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?

In the last 10 years, Australia has had just under 31,023 Prime Ministers. No one can remember who the current one is.

So I've created a hotline, that with the power of some code, can update automatically via Wikipedia and tell us who is the Prime Minister at that given moment?

It's just like the speaking clock - but for the Prime Minister of Australia.

It's dumb and funny - and we've built it already!
Thanks to our friends at Twilio, you can call it now.

Try it? I'll wait.

See it's great.

But the NUMBER is hard to remember.
1300 WHO THE F*** IS P.M?

This is where you come in.

I think the best 1300 number/name for this project is: 1300 WTFI PM

1300 Who The F*** Is P.M. However those numbers are really EXPENSIVE. They cost $3000 a year. So to start off with we want $3000. Then if we get more, we plan to use that money to advertise the hotline.

$3000: We'll buy the number/name 1300 WTFI PM|
$15000: We'll make a saucy old school late night style hotline ad and run it on TV
$23000: We'll book an infomercial on a morning TV show.
$30000: We'll pay for a full page ad in a national broadsheet newspaper.
