There is some start-up right now, with a guy who “designed” a strap for the ipod nano, and asked for donations to produce it. I think he got something close to a million, with 70 dollars a strap that allows you to use an overpriced mp3 player as a poorly working watch. It’s like pet rocks and cabbage patch kids, only now you have internet making it easier to spot trends and find customers. Or a whole new market in the case of sites like My year book (never even heard of it) that piggyback off of popularity of social networks and earn revenue through advertising.

You really cant count number 1. If it wasn’t for their brother hooking them up with $250k that shit wouldn’t have happened. Plus, it seems like the family was well off to begin with.
