In the 1960s,[6] a 20-year-old girl[6] nicknamed "Babydoll" (Emily Browning) is institutionalized by her stepfather at the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane after she is blamed for the death of her younger sister. Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac), one of the asylum's orderlies, is bribed by Babydoll's stepfather into forging the signature of the asylum's psychiatrist, Dr. Vera Gorski (Carla Gugino), to have Babydoll lobotomized, so she can neither inform the authorities of the true circumstances leading to her sister's death, nor reclaim her recently deceased mother's fortune. As Babydoll enters the institution, she takes note of several items that would be integral if she were to attempt an escape.

In the days prior to her lobotomy, Babydoll retreats to a fantasy world in which she is newly arrived in a brothel owned by Blue, whom she envisions as amobster. She befriends four other dancers-Amber (Jamie Chung), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Rocket (Jena Malone), and Rocket's older sister, Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish). Dr. Gorski is envisioned as the girls' dance instructor, informing Babydoll that her virginity would be sold to a client known as "The High Roller" (Jon Hamm). Gorski encourages Babydoll to perform an erotic dance, during which Babydoll fantasizes that she was in feudal Japan, meeting the Wise Man (Scott Glenn). After expressing her desire to "escape," the Wise Man presents Babydoll with weapons. He tells her that she would need to collect five items for an escape: a map, fire, a knife, a key and a fifth, unrevealed item that would require "great sacrifice". Before parting ways, he instructs her to "defend herself," and she is confronted by three demonic samurai, which she defeats. As her fantasy ends, she finds herself back in the brothel, her dance impressing Blue and other onlookers.

Inspired by her vision of the Wise Man, Babydoll convinces her friends to prepare an escape. She plots to use her dances as a distraction whilst the other girls obtain the necessary tools. During each of her dances, she imagines adventurous events that mirror the secretly ongoing efforts. These episodes include infiltrating a bunker protected by steam-powered World War I German soldiers to gain the map (mirrored by Sweet Pea entering Blue's office and copying a map of the brothel); storming an orc-infested castle to cut two fire-producing crystals from the throat of a baby dragon (mirrored by Amber stealing a lighter from the breast-pocket of a client); and boarding a train and combating mechanized guards to disarm a bomb (mirrored by Sweet Pea stealing a kitchen knife from the belt of the brothel's cook). During the last of these fantasies, Rocket sacrifices herself to save Sweet Pea and is killed when the bomb detonates, which is paralleled in a deadly fight between the cook and the other girls in the brothel.

Blue, suspecting that the girls are plotting something, overhears Blondie relaying Babydoll's plan to Madam Gorski. After discovering the gruesome scene around the cook in the kitchen, he has the grieving Sweet Pea locked in a utility closet and confronts the remainder of the girls backstage, proceeding to "make examples" by shooting Amber and Blondie. He then attempts to rape Babydoll, but she stabs him with the kitchen knife and steals his master key. Babydoll frees Sweet Pea, and the two start a fire so that, as a result of the fire alarm, the institution's checkpoint doors unlock. The two manage to escape into the courtyard, where they find the front gate to be blocked by henchmen. Babydoll deduces that the fifth item needed for the escape is in fact herself, and that her sacrifice is needed to complete Sweet Pea's story. She distracts the guards, allowing Sweet Pea to slip out.

The scene cuts back to the asylum in which the surgeon (Hamm) has just performed Babydoll's lobotomy. Hamm is perturbed by Babydoll's expression and starts to question Dr. Gorski as to why she authorized the procedure. It is also revealed that the happenings in the her dream world also happened in the hospital (stabbing an orderly, starting a fire and helping another girl escape) Gorski realizes that Blue has forged her signature, and summons the police, who apprehend Blue as he assaults a catatonic Babydoll.

Sweet Pea is stopped by police at a bus station, but rescued by the bus driver, who misleads the police and is revealed to be the Wise Man from Babydoll's fantasies.

A good Ponzi Scheme has a few things to draw you in

1st A good return (usually more than "market") and good operators make the promised return high enough to generate "BUZZ" but low enough not to appear unreasonable

2nd Others have invested (joined) and are receiving their returns as promised (A key feature of the Ponzi)

3rd They are normally fronted by good salesmen

4th and most important they have a good cover story to explain the high returns

EG: If i promise 100 % return per annum by making and selling chocolate ice cream in Nunavut during winter I am unlikely to get many investors (suckers in a ponzi scheme)

OR if I offer 100% per annum by buying and selling Natural gas, or oil or gold and present a believable front I may be able to generate the needed "BUZZ"

The Ponzi Scheme operators are very often not found out unless

A: Some one gets suspicious

B: The Scheme finally collapses

It's a scam. An "advance fee" scam, where you give them your money and credit card info, and they do not help you get rich quick.

They will give you info on how to click on things for a fortune (a lie) and how to make money by roping your family and friends into this (they won't fall for it).

And they'll be charging a lot more to your credit card then you thought.
There is more than one "opinion" on this, see both before judging.

Opinion 1:

Project Payday is a legitimate opportunity to make money online. The concept behind Project Payday is to "work the system" of what are called Incentive Websites (IWs). You may not know what these sites are but I am sure you have seen them. IWs are the sites that offer you a free prizes like ipods, xbox, cash prize, or just about anything just to sign up to some offer.

Project Payday does work but the process can be tedious and take time to complete. Also, you have to be organized to be successful with this program. Many of the IWs require you to sign up for a free trial of a product that can last 7 or 30 days. These sites will take your credit card information and charge you after the trial if you don't return the product. The amount charged can be higher than the amount you were paid to "go green" If you return the product before the trial ends you will not be charged and you still get paid from the Project Payday member you worked out your deal with to "go green".

If you are looking to earn an extra $500 - $2000 a month and willing to work a few hours a day on your computer to "work" the IWs sites then Project Payday may be the program for you. Whether you should join Project Payday or not is up to you.

Like many other money making system, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. While thousands of people earn using the project payday system, few people say that it is not the best out there. Checkout for more reviews and user experience before joining any home based business.

Opinion 2:

It's a scam. They take your money up front (the "advance fee" scam" and send you worthless info and crap that will allegedly make you the laughably large amounts claimed in the first opinion.

Enter in "Project Payday" on a google search, watch it automatically fill in "scam", and then read the dozens of complaints. I have answered over a thousand questions here about scam sites and Cashcrate is a scam.

Have you ever wondered how people in the 19th century were so silly as to listen to "snake oil salesman"? You know, those guys in the guady travelling carts, the outlandish clothes, and they'd sell something like, "Professor McGillicudy's Miracle Snake Oil Tonic from the Far East!"? And he'd get up on a little stage, and tell you how it cured scurvy, arthritis, consumption, typhoid fever, and was also a hair restorer?

Well, wonder no more, for our 21st century gaudy websites and outlandish YouTube videos are the modern equivalent.

Good Life International, aka Mega Cardio Plus, is the snake oil salesman. Their formula of "arginine" will cure all your ills. Besides preventing heart attacks and adding years of vibrant health to your life, it also works great as a hangover curer! (Really, they have some patently prompted "neutral" endorsements of this on YouTube.)

Send them your money, and they will send you what doctors don't want you to know! Yes, apparently our "foolish" doctors, who have cured more diseases in the last 100 years then in the past 6,000 have dropped the ball, and if only we all sent our money and drank their magic elixer - er, "energy drink" - we'd all live to 100!

Yes, it's really a scam. And most glaring of all, on their own website, not once do they suggest that you consult with your physician. It's because they know he'll tell you the truth. It's a panacea, a placebo, and an utter waste of your money.
