    Well, people were "warned"...they got the terms and conditions before they clicked through, but you know, there are several ways to place these things, and when people are horny and looking for p*rn, they might not read through all the fine print, which means they might end up getting burned...

    haha... that reminds me of a seinfeld episode.

    although that was pakistani and italian. i guess only the word "fusion" reminds me of that episode.

    A bank or a casino. Both are pretty much a license to print money and you don't actually have to DO anything, like come up with new products and such.

    Reminds me of Vidiots, the video store I used to rent from when I lived in Santa Monica. Exactly the store you are describing. They also had a huge selection of vintage TV show tapes to rent. I used to be able to wander their aisles for hours.

    Maybe you are kidding, but there is a place (well, two locations now) called Zante's in San Francisco that does Indian/Italian. I think it's wonderful, but many of my friends think it is disgusting.

    I have few business ideas (surprise), but I think I know a bad one when I see one.

    I once "consulted" for a start-up in San Francisco called "thescience.com." There were all sorts of talented graphic artists and animators that wanted to build a website for children that was devoted to science. I was supposed to help design some (and/or provide content expertise) to some physics-related pages.

    My first day there...

    Me: I'm curious -- what's the business model? Why will kids come to the site, and if they do come, what are you selling, and to whom do you sell it?

    Them: Blink, blink.

    Their existence: Blink.*

    actually, there is still a site, but i don't believe there's a company per se anymore. the site has two poor demos, and I did *not* have anything to do with those two!

    that story pretty much sums up a huge portion of the dot com industry in the mid-90's.

    Tell me when/where you open up. I'll be the dude standing outside selling Immodium-AD to your customers once they leave.

    Gaming store. Not video games, but games like D&D and such. Also, a back room for people who are ready to really cast spells.

    "ready"?


    "really"?


    I can't decide which is more confusing...

    How about a sportsbook? Most gamblers lose money.

    Or what about selling the tops of muffins only. You could call it "Top of the Muffin, To You!"

    You probably couldn't be more right and wrong in the same post. Lending money isn't as easy when you need your customers to pay you back. You would be surprised what just .50% of bad loans can do to a bank's earnings.
