If the contest between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama wasn't enough to get you to brave long lines at the polls, how about the prospect of free products?
These are some of the freebies that companies are offering customers who participate in the electoral process:
• Ben & Jerry's will give voters free ice cream.
• Starbucks will give voters a free small coffee.
• Krispy Kreme will give voters a free "star shaped doughnut with patriotic sprinkles."
• Todd Conner's, a bar in Baltimore, will give voters a free beer.
• Shane's Rib Shack will give voters a free "Vote America meal," which consists of chicken tenders and a beverage.
• Anaheim White House, a restaurant in California, will give voters a free bottle of champagne, according to the Orange County Register.
• Zoo Atlanta is cutting admission prices for voters and their families, according to WXIA-TV.
Finally, an adult store is giving away sex toys that we can't describe in any detail.
“We’re expecting a good response,” Pamela Doan, a Babeland spokeswoman, tells MSNBC. “Both of these toys are very popular. The Maverick retails for $20 and the Silver Bullet retails for $15. It’s a good reward.”

Is this what our elections have come to? The world's eyes are upon us as our voters are rewarded with ice cream and sex toys?
I thought I had heard of it all. Our country has risen to a new low.
