The million Zimbabwean dollar homepage

There’s a joker out there who made a spoof of the very successful Million Dollar Homepage – the Million Zimbabwean Dollar Homepage.

The idea is simple: the person is trying to make Z$1m (US$33, about SGD$46) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for Z$1 each. Hence, ‘The Million Zimbabwean Dollar Homepage”. The guy claims his main motivation for doing this is to pay for his degree studies in Zimbabwe.

In his own words:

So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 9 100-pixel ‘blocks’ (each measuring 10×10 pixels). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful. However, I am selling them in groups of nine so that no purchase is less than US$0.03

When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website. However, no obscene or offensive images are allowed.

The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change. Using some of the money I make from the site, I guarantee to keep it online for at least 5 years, but hopefully much longer. I want it to become a kind of internet time capsule. So, in the long run, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You will have a piece of internet history!

What do you think? Would you be buying pixels from him? 🙂
