That's okay with me as long as I get to be the special advisor on the deportation committee.

I think there have already been a town or two that has been sold before. I was thinking one was to a corporation and one was to a celebrity or something.

That was Kim Basinger, she bought Brazelton, Georgia (pop. 500) for a cool 20 mil back in 1989... said she planned to turn it into a tourist destination... she subsequently had to sell it, in 1994, when she was being sued for allegedly reneging on a movie deal...

Yeah, I remember reading about that. She had planned to use it as a living movie set where films could shoot on location and the town could be tailored as needed to the screenplay. Supposedly a film she was going to be working on got snagged up when the town they were shooting in voted in a series of new taxes that were aimed at exploiting the filmmakers, actors, crew, etc. So she decided to make a "film friendly" town.

South Park did an episode (or some other cartoon) where a film has to leave a town and retreat back to Hollywood because of the exploitive taxes placed by the municipality.
