Indeed, since there are no dividends or underlying assets to buy back shares, the only way these shares can possibly appreciate is if more money is chasing the same amount of fake assets. Ie. if more people join. So it’s sort of like a pyramid or ponzi… One massive pump and dump, which is what happened to them in October once the early adopters pulled all the money out.

Megan Fox, 40 years from now, maybe, Mary Steenburgen is a pretty hot older lady.

Preferred stock of Britney, what kind of sucker do you take me for, everyone knows that’s all common stock.

TheHappySurfer: I own all the outstanding preferred shares of MFOX and have no interest in selling.

I do have futures contracts available. You’ll probably be more interested in the March 2050 contract. It’s in contango naturally but Megan is more likely to make love to you when she’s elderly. By then you should have sold at least 2 Internet startups for big bucks too.

PS: I do have some preferred shares of Britney Spears and am looking to sell all of them to one buyer. Interested?

Are you offering preferred stock on Megan or just common.

What about some options trading?

Tom Smykowski: It was a “Jump to Conclusions” mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor… and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

Will: agreed. Only companies associated with top-tier athletes like Michael Jordan can fail. Having a few second-tier athletes advising you is far more conducive to success.

Wait just a minute. Former San Fransisco 49er Ronnie Lott will be joining the company’s Advisory Board. No company with Ronnie Lott on its advisory board is capable of failing.

Sam: so you’re not interested in a few shares of fractional ownership of Megan Fox? I’ll even let you have a few Friday nights.

Ah, I was afraid 2009 might have killed off the idiotic startups already.

To be generous, crossing a fantasy sports league crossed with Betfair to try to avoid US gambling laws (probably unsuccessfully) and couching it in stock market terminology is not the world’s worst idea. But the VC involvement and TechCrunch comments like “its [sic] sharing the wealth that everyone has to create a more stable economy in the interest of sport”… apparently the failtrain has a while to go yet.
