More ads by the pixel

Million Dollar Home PageThe MIT Advertising Lab was the first to hip me to Million Dollar Home Page, on which an enterprising young man in Great Britain sold advertising space by the pixel (well, not by the pixel exactly, as pixels are quite small) and has made quite a bit of money so far. MIT has looked into it a little more and discovered that many, many, many, um, many other people have latched on to the idea in order to raise money without having to do much work. My favorite so far is this site which sells "100% American made pixels" for one dollar each. God knows I'd hate to be unpatriotic.
