Basically, I've always wondered what would happen if I walked up to
every person in the US and tried to bum a dollar off of them. Yes,
most would look at me like some nut case, which is perfectly
understandable. But I figured if I get 1 out of 10 to donate (along
with a black eye or two), I'd have an impressive pile of cash on my
hands.
Well, I've taken my idea one step further... I've set up a website
where the curious, adventurous and foolhardy can actually send me a
dollar. Why? For no reason whatsoever. Its the perfect legal ruse;
that is, I'm flat out telling people to give me a dollar. I'm
offering no service or product (except to donate proceeds to the
American Cancer Society), and therefore assuring your dollar will
either go to charity or to feed my Barnes and Noble bookstore habit.
Most email schemes cannot offer that level of honesty, in intent or in
fiscal irresponsibility.
Feel free to check the site out, feel free to pass it along to your
friends as a gag (heck, helping me create the buzz event of 2005 would
be almost as fantastic as making a few bucks), and of course, feel
free to give to the $1 Social Experiment.
Why? Because you can!

overwhelmingly deluged by fan or hate mail, I'll reply to all
comments!
