Slashdot has a cool story about a student in England who decided to sell 100-pixel ads on his home page. He started with some family and friends and then released a press statement. The release was picked up by British media and the next thing he knew he had made a million dollars.

This is serious; no joking.

Here is yesterday's Reuter's news story about it. You can buy ads for $10 a pixel.

Have a look at the Million Dollar Homepage. It is certainly unique.
