Desperate for Something

Alright gents. Cal - your idea on milliondollarhomepage's success being partially due to its story got me thinking... What about a site with a similar format to hotornot.com that illicits very interesting stories.

Desperateformoney.com
Features headshots of people (they have to be making a desperate face) and says why they need the money, and perhaps what they're willing to do for it. This could get funny submissions. Savetoby.com is a play on this. Visitors could donate to the individual. We could take a percentage of the profits.

This idea would be edgy, humorous, but at the same time actually help people who are desperate. Also, one nice aspect of this idea is that it is franchisable.

In terms of the implementation, here would be the steps...

1. We register domain name and web hosting and build simple site.
   
2. We tell everybody about the idea.
   
3. People submit their picture and story to us via email.
   
4. We post acceptable ones into a database.
   
5. The database displays the accepted submissions randomly (probably some free script for this).
   
6. People vote on them, donate to them, or comment on them, or some such.
