The Million Dollar Webpage and the Mini

CNN article

His Website

"All the money's kind of sitting in a bank account," Tew told Reuters from his home in Wiltshire, southwest England. "I've treated myself to a car. I've only just passed my driving test so I've bought myself a little black mini."

Looks like I have one part of the puzzle.

Now to find the million $!

I don't get it, so I'm supposed to want to use these businesses based on that chaos of a site? I guess it's geared to the same sort of person who takes calls from telemarketers and suddenly decides "oh yeah, maybe I do need my carpets cleaned".
Good thing he's not relying on me to earn money!

This is the same idea behind

I don't get it either, but evidently if you pay him $100 then you can key his car. For another $100 they'll have a local hottie do it for you.

What to do with a cool million bucks!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10643007/

Smart kid from the UK starts a website, makes a pile of cash, and of course, what does buy right away?

"All the money's kind of sitting in a bank account," Tew told Reuters from his home in Wiltshire, southwest England. "I've treated myself to a car. I've only just passed my driving test so I've bought myself a little black mini."

Like I said, smaht kid!

I believe someone started a thread about this. I'll find it and merge this into it.
