I picked up a magazine to read in the drugstore while waiting for a prescription, and I got such a kick out of it that I bought it to finish while on a plane the next day - it's called "Start Your Own Business - Mail Order Delivers" - and it's about 100 pages of almost nothing but ads for get-rich-quick scams - the ad copy in each ad is funnier than the last.
What's most amazing to me is that this magazine comes out four times a year --- I guess the real money is in selling advertising to scammers
(Yes, there *were* still a few people touting the benefit of placing small classified ads from your apartment
