Million Dollar Pixel Page Uses Lure of Super Bowl to Bilk Advertisers

With four days to go before Sunday’s Super Bowl, this million dollar homepage idea has to be the dumbest one yet. The page, called Be in A Super Bowl Ad, promises to show six pages of its site for five seconds each during a :30 in the game. That is unless, according to this not insignificant disclaimer on the site, “Because advertisement space for the Big Game is extremely expensive there is a possibility that the football ad can’t be purchased. There will be no refunds and the standard advertising terms and conditions will be in effect,” things don’t work out in the next few days. Can you say scam?
