Default what the most ridiculous product/site you can think up

I've just come from the post (BUSTED! Selling Bullsh*t Product Online) that JustinBrooke started and it got me thinking - what's the most ridiculously stupid idea for a product or a website you can come up with - nothing is too dumb!

Or - the weirdest website/product you've found.

Lets have a giggle.

But just because the idea is ridiculous it doesn't mean it won't work!

In business many of your most successful projects will catch you by surprise.

Some will leave you wondering "why are people buying this stuff?"

Ask me some time about grass heads.

I am actually working on my site to hopefully launch soon, but I wanted to take a break for a bit... so after coming across this thread, I made a 'real' ridiculous product.. yes, squeeze page, thank you page, download link, and well, the actual product =) (Yeah, no OTO this time.)

The POD System - The Solution To Your Paper Problem

The product does NOT include Resell Rights, only GIVEAWAY RIGHTS.

Don't remember the "name brand" they sold it under,
but it was for a Solar Dryer...

And when the copywriting sold you (which was very good
by the way!) and you ordered, you received 20 feet of rope!!!

Have you addressed the environmental issues? How many copies of page 2 can I print per set of ink cartridges. You are encouraging me to print out page 2 - but what if I print more blank pages than I need. That's a waste of paper - can it be recycled.

I know - shut up - it's bed time. Good night.

Rosetrees,

Thank you for your feedback about POD System.

"Have you addressed the environmental issues?"
I need to be more specific about the issues, however, I think I need to work on the FAQ page as well as rework the site (and maybe offer an upgrade.) =P

"How many copies of page 2 can I print per set of ink cartridges?"
In theory, if you use the POD system as directed, you should find that your printer ink use per page is virtually unlimited! (Depends on the printer, however.)

"You are encouraging me to print out page 2 - but what if I print more blank pages than I need. That's a waste of paper - can it be recycled?"
In almost every situation the paper can be reloaded for use again in the future. If you prefer, you should be able to recycle the additional sheets as well. This is, of course.. again, dependent on the printer itself.

=)

You'll find all kinds of strange new products throughout strange new products dot com... A Cool site Google really likes...

Unfortunately, it's one of the sites not being kept up to date in their blog network. Followed it for years, could be an opportunity for someone...

Quick example...

LOL. I actually have the P-Mate for camping trips. I've never been good at squatting in the wilderness. Poison ivy always seemed to pop up in the most inconvenient places. And that was probably way too much info. Carry on...

Yes, there's a product for everyone's needs these days and if there isn't, someones out there keeping an eye on the marketplace and re-creating one that just right! Definitely, keep an open mind on specialty product creation...

Here's another intuiging product to check out and listen to...

Bet you there are all kinds of Untapped niche marketplaces to develop this one into, especially the way everyday traffic is going...
