You'd be surprised at the perks of being in the Moonies' good books: 
They will fly you to (their) conferences all over the world, you get to 
attend their mass weddings (make sure to wear a wedding band before you 
go in). No expenses spared, you fly business class and stay in the best 
hotels in town.

Of course no-one on this list would ever stoop so low as to take their 
money, fly to the other side of the world, give a little pro-forma paper 
and then tack on a two-week vacation. That would be prostituting our 
academic integrity . . . hallo, hallo, where is everybody?
