Crunchyroll/Mushi to outsource to fansubbers through contest

So Mushi Productions wants one of their projects translated into English, but they don't have the resources. So they're grabbing some dusty old relics (see: original Astro Boy script on the left) out of their warehouse and are gonna pawn them off to the best fansubber/fansubbing group that volunteers to enter the contest. This reminds me of Ron Paul's plan to fend off pirates. Except the winner gets COLD HARD CASH instead of TRASH. Seriously, with the speed of fansubbers these days, the company should be offering "some sort of pre-release incentive, or mass amounts of anime, such as a complete archive of all the company's series in BD format."
