It is amazing what people are willing to pay for.

(Don't focus on the circus stunt. Instead, pay attention to the business lesson :)

In this day and age of cheap video games, movies, and pornography... there is not much of a market for this anymore.

All those "500 lb mom", "the 1000 pound man" show on the discover channel (and similar), not to mention the Biggest Loser tell me otherwise.

Based on that trend, we'll be expected to see 'the 2000 pound man' next.
