- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I think it's just telling you to go and get laid. ASAP.
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16In the room behind that ad is every man's dream.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I'd take the "sweet" spot between Coke and Apple billboards.
- somesthetic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11it cant resemble the million dollar homepage, because most of the ads you have to click to even know what theyre ads for.
these ones will have to actually tell you. - SoulMaster2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"get laid today"? how does that work...
- BloodJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Lets see the million dollar homepage ransomers try to hold this building for ransom.
- redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The new Macbook?
- triforcer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6more like the million dollar eyesore.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6you realize its photoshopped right?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I was just thinking the same thing. The virality of it doesn't quite match the million dollar homepage..
- CynicalBastard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Google it!
- theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10"sucks almost as much as"

http://www.unnecessarilyredundant.org/ - knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5no that's the next room over.
- thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5yeah well they will have to pay a lot more. tattoos are effing expensive.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3~$20/tile...Nike owns 380 tiles... Equals Approx. $7,600... Pay me 8 grand Nike, and I would stand in the street chanting "Nike!" and probably make more of an impact...
- strangeguitar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah... Google is much more forgiving than Digg users, but the Million Dollar Homepage was the brainchild of this college student who sold pixels on his website to businesses. He charged a dollar a pixel and because of how novel the idea was, he was getting a lot of press. Lots of press equals lots of hits and lots of hits equals lots of advertisers. He made his million, met a sweet foreigner, and was planning to retire in San Guadelupe De Rosario Del Norte when he got fatally pummelled in the face by a wayward water balloon. His shrine can be viewed to this very day in his hometown of Littlebug, Arkansas where he is buried. His ghost is said to be seen wandering aimlessly throughout the corridors of the high school where he was an alumni. Apparently, he was voted as "Least Likely to Come Up With The Idea Of Building The Million Dollar Homepage" and was teased endlessly about it. His widow was unavailable for comment.
- TDot1980, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It seems that people are missing the point of advertising on the MDHomepage... Not to have your ad seen by people, it would get hopelessly lost in all the other ads unless you paid huge bucks for more space. The point was to have a backlink from a very very popular page with tons of visitors every day, thereby increasing your chances of being ranked higher in search engines. A building can't do that, and most ads will get lost in the eyesore that is that building.
And speaking of eyesore, all I can say is thank $deity for municipal signage bylaws in my area that would prohibit that piece of ***** from going up here. - trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Look at the highway right by it. http://www.sandberg.nl:16080/artvertising/detail_05.htm

Port 16080 is used for Apache performance cache. It's on a per site basis. - modeless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Tattoos, you say?

This building reminds me of those sidewalks made up of bricks with people's names on them. My city financed its downtown renovation project with name bricks in the sidewalks. Disneyland has a bunch in front of the California Adventure. This is just the same thing only with brands. The cool thing about the million dollar homepage was that it was one guy who hit it big with nothing but an idea, and it only worked because the idea was so ridiculous. The building is just more boring advertising like you see everywhere already, on buildings even. - zerovertex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The concept isn't anything new. A park in a town I use to live in has a brick walk way that has peoples names inscribed on each brick. Each brick cost $1000, and went to build the park and playground.
- strangeguitar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If I'm reading it correctly, you can buy your lot of tiles for a month. At first I thought that it would be a ridiculous idea to re-tile the whole building every month. Then I saw your post. Now it makes sense that they would make a color-changing tile and just change the color every month with some hi-tech computer system like the Commodore 64 or maybe an Apple IIe. Yeah... probably the latter. The resolution on those computers is much better than a TV.
- skydivingdutch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This doesn't sound nearly as cost-effective as doing this on a website.
- bryce302, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Some lady did it on her chest.
- cvp1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks fake to me...
http://img451.imageshack.us/img451/3995/fake8uz.gif - camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It looks like a photoshop job to me.
The ads are just too bright. And the "tiles" look choppy. Look right above the "I love new work" sign. It looks cut/paste. - TyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is a stpid idea, the million dollar homepage, was way better.
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's an example image, silly.
- logic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*foot in mouth, comment removed*
- ZombieFlanders, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Seems like you'd have to have a lot of potential customers walking, biking, and driving by in order to be able to sell some advertising space. It looks like the area around the 'million dollar building' doesn't have enough population to really justify a million dollars worth of advertising...
/I know, it's just a catchy slogan - cybercerberus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hahah look how ***** the area around the building looks. Kinda detracts from the ad value.
- RandomPrecision, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And didn't the 1,000,000-homepage guy shill the money he was actually receiving to try to spur more people on?
These people might be somewhat bummed out when they don't actually receive as much money as they think this will draw. - riverfr0zen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that building sure seems to have a lack of windows...
- callumj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I want it all in LCD, now that would be cool.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Soon you will see someone doing this with tattoos."
Already did. Some guy in Michigan shaved his head and sold businesses temporary ad space with temporary tattoos for a fee. Apparently he got a couple clients. This was in Business Week a couple years ago. - ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2In other news..... the million dollar china wall!
- OropheR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good adaptation of an idea from cyberspace to reality, this is a daring idea, ok, maybe not environementally beautiful, but well...its nearly artisitic.
- camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they flash?
- zakool21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't know, but what city would approve an eyesore like this? I mean, times square is one thing because it's appropriate to have ads and flashing lights everywhere, but in a normal city?
- dunstdunst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its an art institute, so other than direct viewers of the building, I imagine it will get a massive coverage in all the art mags.
- adsbyworld, on 06/14/2008, -0/+0AdsByWorld is a first flash map based advertising website and the countries
are being sold on EBay auctions.
Each two weeks , all countries are placed in their own auction pages on
EBay and prospective owners bid to win their countries.
The logo , the advertisment message and the website link of winner will
be published on the World map on the website for two weeks until next auction
ends. After the new auction is ended , if someone paid more than the owner of
the country , owner will change. The top winner who makes the biggest payment of
the all auctions in a week will have got a bonus country. The top winner
can have got an unsold a country beside its own country.
AdsByWorld placed 51 countries for first auctions which got the largest
area on the world. AdsByWorld Officials say that they received a lot of
email in one day for placing other countries in EBay auctions. The idea
of AdsByWorld is growing website traffic and unique visitor counts for
websites of winners.
Are you an advertiser and do you want to put your advertisment on the map
of your country?
So visit http://www.adsbyworld.com and join the big race to build your
empire. - Llanowar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love how it says Rijks Museum Amsterdam (The museum of Amsterdam).
And below it it says, Get laid today! - MAcsSNAcs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And still more on selling ad space on your body with tattoos:
try this: http://www.goldenpalaceevents.com/auctions/pregnant01.php - dexbol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0where is the Building?
- Kurlowski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I dont understand how the ad is displayed. It said on tiles, but I looked at the close up of the tiles and they just look like lights rather then some sort of lcd. Hmm anyone want to clue me in as to how this works?
