$279,000 worth of pixels sold so far

I am amazed by the innovative things that people come up with. Here is a guy who is selling pixels for $1 each on his website. The funny thing is that people are buying them, by the droves. He has sold 279,300 of these as of this writing, basically for links to peoples web pages.

It looks like it was started as a joke/side project to help him pay off his debt. I would guess that by this point he has done that and is on his way to buying himself a nice car. Take a look.
