Check out fuckedcompany.com A site dedicated to listing the stupid fucks who bought the "your neighbor's kid is a millionaire" hype and started up companies only to have them fall. I don't have any pity. It was all pure greed combined with a helathy dose of naivete. People have finally realized that putting a dot.com after an idea doesn't succesfully bend the rules of supply and demand. "Let's sell petfood for cost, and make profits on pet toys!
