Counterfeit Girl Scout Cookies

I came across this website recently via google images:

Seems that this guy has developed something to attract certain google searches and funnel them to the amazon store. I wonder how many people actually make purchases?

I think I need to experiment a bit with this.

According to Wikipedia, Mob Wars is a role-playing Facebook application which allows players to engage in Mafia style wars with each other and which has become the most lucrative application on Facebook and the first to net $1m per month in revenue. Developed under the pseudonym Jason Gilbert by David Maestri whilst he worked for Freeweb/SGN it was subsequently the subject of an unsuccessful intellectual property lawsuit as Maestri's former employers claimed ownership. The suit was settled on 16 December 2008 with the IP for Mob Wars remaining with Maestri but with SGN allowed to develop their own Mafia based role-playing application." Wikipedia says that by August 2008, Mob Wars had 2.5 million active users." However, the Washington Post reports that there are 9 million users.

The Post also reports that the App has come to the Iphone. "Zynga Brings Smash Hit Mafia Wars To The iPhone" - washingtonpost.com "One apparent omission in the iPhone app that will frustrate veteran Mafia Wars gamers is that there's apparently no way to link to mobile game to your profile on social networks..."

The most direct method of intervening is at the point of foreclosure through the courts. One way of doing this would be to give judges the ability to write down principal, and to assign the balance as a deferred “property appreciation right” (PAR) to the lender. This would reduce foreclosure rates, preserve the value of the existing mortgage securities, and avoid concerns about fairness. A more ambitious government-sponsored program would be to make the PARs an obligation of homeowners to the Treasury administered through the IRS, asserting a claim on the price appreciation of the home or subsequent property owned by the homeowner. The foreclosure court would reduce principal, assign an offsetting PAR obligation to the homeowner, and assign the lender that same share in the Treasury's PAR Fund (basically a national pool of those PAR obligations). The PARs would then be marketable. Though they would undoubtedly sell at a discount to the face amount since not all the PARs will be repaid, they would be backed by a pool of real assets that are likely regain their value in the long-term, if not the near term. The Treasury could aggregate these claims and pay them out proportionately to the lenders, but would not even have to guarantee full payment – just enforce the claims by collecting and paying out.
