The ideas aren't dumb. Now the people that payed for them and made them huge successes are another story...

How would you like to go on a date with an HIV positive person? Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would, so they created a dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2006 sales are $110,000, and the two hope to have 50,000 members by their two-year mark.

This is a bad idea, why? It gives singles that are HIV positive the opportunity to meet and and form sexual relationships without putting others at risk.

Everyone's strand of HIV is different, and having sex with another HIV positive person just creates stronger stands that may potentially be untreatable.

Myspace?

Myspace wasn't a bad idea... it was just implimented REALLY badly. It has to be the most unstable and poorly designed high traffic website out there, but no one in the under 25 crowd seems to care! I'll bet that the folks that work at the better blogging sites like Blogger and and Xanga are still scratching their heads over that one.

As opposed to having people sleep around with uninfected and unaware partners and use protection to try to prevent the spread of the disease? Doesn't sound like a much better alternative at all.

Or do you propose that they should just become celebate?
