It would be awesome if its a "one touch" stapler. A spring actually shoots the staple out so you can have lots of fun shooting staples across the room.
If you're not in the US, but just love filling out surveys, I suggest sending them to random people in the US. I did that to a friend once, oddly, it was a small toolset. He came to my house kind of excited one day, "Dude! I just got this 12 piece tool set in the mail! I never ordered it or anything." Though you won't have that joy... except knowing that somebody laughed at the random stapler delivery.

it's been on slickdeals/fatwallet for a couple days already, and now digg jumps on... i'm guessing upwards of 50,000 people will do the survey - we're entering microsoft freebie territory here...
As usual, some belly-button-gazing US company forgot that the whole world is NOT made up of the US and did NOT specify that the only people who get to participate in this survey and receive a free gift are people who live in the US.
Nice try.
It's called the WORLD WIDE web for a reason there genius.
Somebody's got a sense of humor...from their website copy for the "COLLECTORS EDITION 747® Business Stapler - Rio Red" :
* Put the "fun" back in the "functional" with Swingline´s Rio Red Stapler!
* Bold head-turning design and legendary performance - the star of any office space
The survey is so they can figure out what to put in their desk tool kit: "Please let us know of other items you feel would be useful in a desk tool kit that were not included above (optional)."
If everyone could please add "toenail clippers," "desk catapult," and "travel chopsticks" to that list, I think the world may just become a better place.
