Is Jason Grunstra’s MyFreeImplants.com the answer to some women’s dreams -- or just to those who want to see them naked?

By KEVIN SITES, WED AUG 15, 9:48 AM PDT


Jason Grunstra's "eureka" moment did not occur while sitting under an apple tree like Newton — nor while flying a kite in the rain, like Franklin. Then again, Grunstra wasn't busy discovering the law of gravity or the conductivity of electricity. Grunstra's "discovery" was this: Americans are obsessed with breasts.

Thus the concept of "MyFreeImplants.com" was born, and it stayed with Grunstra even after he returned home from Las Vegas and sobered up. The idea was simple: Set up a Web site to raise money for women who want breast implants. The women pose for photographs on the site, and so-called benefactors pay for the right to look — and to "interact," as Grunstra puts it, via email and blog posts.

Just two years later, Grunstra claims the site has over 10,000 benefactors and one thousand women competing for their attention and their dollars. He says 28 women have already made their goal and are featured prominently on the site in before and after photos.

Benefactors create profiles and buy message credits at $1.25 a pop, which allows them to send messages to women they see on the site. A dollar goes toward the women's goal; 25 cents goes to Grunstra and the site. Grunstra says the site has more than 5 million page-views a month, brings in $1,000 a day, and generates a monthly profit of about $3,000.

9. I was going to write something longer, but the one word reply was so much better
Still, he's getting paid for guys to talk to women who'll post nudey shots in the hope that they'll end up with free implants.

6. Ever wonder why it is so hard to get people to "engage" in actual news
they are all concerned about how they LOOK not how they are or what they could be. Did you know that Maury is still actually on TV? I ran into this at the company gym a few weeks ago-I walk in and this woman on the treadmill is watching Maury... MAURY!! and willingly!!!

I myself prefer the human interest element of "Inside Edition"


:rofl:

No cable so I think the other choice is Ellen but that has no visual POP especially when you have the iPod cranked to wash away the pain.

MAURY!!

Oh and "According to Jim" is now syndicated. Seriously.
