Making millions from stupidity

I remember when I was little, I thought if I could just get everyone in New York to give me $1, I'd be a millionaire.

Well, this kid Alex Tew actually did it.

Partly because his idea was so silly and childish that it appealled to his mental peers - cheap banner ad businesses. He's sold 1 million pixels of real estate on his homepage for $1/pixel.

Forget the fact that when the hype is gone, no one in their right mind will visit that site -- he's made his money!
