Stupid Little Retard Makes $1 Million Selling Pixels On His Website
This guy puts even Lord Atrios to shame:
If you have an envious streak, you probably shouldn't read this.
Too late for me. It's not too late for you.
Because chances are, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet.
Selling porn? Dealing prescription drugs? Nope. All he sells are pixels, the tiny dots on the screen that appear when you call up his home page.
...
The idea: turn his home page into a billboard made up of a million dots, and sell them for a dollar a dot to anyone who wants to put up their logo. A 10 by 10 dot square, roughly the size of a letter of type, costs $100.
...
So far they have bought up 911,800 pixels.
Oh, well, good for him. Musn't be envious. I wish him luck. He'll need it, because I just prayed to Satan that he be raped to death by a puma.
Thanks to Joel.
