Get Rich Quick, a Dot at a Time

Some douchebag in England wanted to make a million bucks. So here's what he did: He charged companies $1 per pixel to advertise on his page. He divided his screen into 10,000 squares of 100 pixels. Tons of advertisers got on board and the site looks like a jumbled mess. But it's getting so much attention it must be paying off for advertisiers. He is not charging them per click, and he has promised to keep it up for 5 years. He as already raised more than $600,000 towards his goal of a million.
