There have been several posts lately about "stupid" or "unlikely" ideas that make money. I could see this falling into that category. It's an interesting attempt, if not singularly creative.
I thought I was browsing Hacker News, but I guess reddit changed their layout today.
Actually, I was sure it was Hacker News as soon as I read the whine comparing it to reddit.
Paraphrased from Full Metal Jacket:
Pvt. Joker: "Is that you, reddit? Is this me?"
I don't get it.
I'm sitting in SFO waiting on a four hour delay to JFK. That page made me laugh really, really hard.
It's like the guy that sold the page for $1 per pixel. At least it's tongue-in-cheek cyber-begging.
A friend tried cyberbegging about 10 years ago. It appears to be more successful nowadays.
