    That's a one time scam that can't work again. When it's over he'll have some money but no customer base, no permission and nothing to build on.

    He can have it.

    Yeah, but you're not in this game for the money are you? Oh wait...

    If you want to make 50 grand I can think of plenty other more reliable ways instead of slaving over a computer screen for the next year trying to create something that may or may not sell.

    Oh my god, that site's hilarious

    Hmm, after looking at the 'recipes' section, for some reason I just can't seem to get "Looney Toones" out of my head...

    It looks like paypal has suspended his account. Those bastards are going to let the rabbit die.

    Well, he's not creating any wealth, so I see little reason to envy him.

    Then again... he is helping to releive morons of money they obviously are too incompetent to have under their care.

    Every week in Private Eye someone puts an ad in the back "Send £10!" and that's pretty much all it says. And quite often, apparently, someone does...

    That's something (compare it to dexterity.com - apparently the link doesn't do it).

    You know your pure evil when... ?

    I have nothing against eating other animals. And I don't actually care whether he eats the bunny. But to blackmail animal lovers is really sickening.

    Ah, it was good for a laugh though...

    It was shown to be a hoax from a link posted earlier. I admit I laughed pretty hard when I saw it too, but I also didn't believe it was real.

    Am I the only person who actually thought about buying a Save Toby T-shirt? I saw this a couple weeks ago and it cracked me up.

    He's just copying the guy who was going to kill his rabbit before. What's the link now. Where is it. Lemme see.

    This savetoby guy's just ripping off the first guy's idea wholesale. Lame! And just like most clones, this one has far less charm than the site with the original idea. Grrrr!
