Title: Asketh and you shall receive?
Post by Amadd on Jan 20^th, 2011 at 2:58pm

Is this for real?

A comedian has gone on youtube asking for one million dollars for no specific reason other than he thinks that it would be cool to have it.

..And he's got a taker!! :o A millionaire has agreed to present him one million dollars live on TV.

I shall have to keep up with this one to see if it's an advertising exploit or if it's a reality check on the the value of money.

Either way, it's a bit of a reality check I think.
