The Good Citizen Challenge 

Here’s the deal: get us a photo of you and a celebrity and somehow get Good Citizen into the picture and we’ll reward you with a  prize from the Good Citizen merchandise catalog. Get us a shot of Axle Rose reading out magazine while you make rabbit ears behind his head. Snap a photo of Governor Dean holding a Good Citizen CD in his hands. Here’s a wonderful example to start you off: Pants and (sic) keyboardist Dan Mazur had the chance to hang out with former-somebody Burt “Boy Wonder” Ward on a film set in Rutland recently. Yes, that’s really him…long before Chris O’Donnel was even a glimmer in his daddy’s eye, Burt Ward was bouncing Batman groupies on his knee as the most famous sidekick of them all, Robin the Boy Wonder. His Batman, the sixties television version, kicks all the others’ asses, and Burt Ward was right there, looking hoof in those tights. Dan sure looks good in his Good Citizen t-shirt, though.
