I get the "15 minutes of fame" thing, but it passes quickly.

I mean, sure, the current Survivor season might spit out 20 people who might make a few people happy this year. But is there really a market for Jane from season 8? Like a couple hundred a day?

Perhaps I'm wrong and all kinds of people are plunking down $50 for birthday messages all day long. (So much for a depressed economy...)

Clearly I'm not the target market and most ideas seem dumb when you can't imagine using a service yourself. Maybe there are 50000 customers a day dropping this cash.
