@mtf612: Whoah… Approved, promoted, and starred in one post?
Your Win count is off the charts.

I am one of the 5 people left in the United States without a Facebook Account, and he’s not winning me over.

I can make a difference Lee, you, however, will not.

I remember this guy from a few years ago. He was trying to pick up programmers off of sites like freelancer.com.
If he had put as much time and effort into learning to program as he did trying to find free programmers he probably could have finished this project already.

@phatmik3: yeah i was wondering that too. i bet if T&E just put it in a episode no questions would be asked.

There is something off-putting to me when I see someones profile pic they took themselves in a mirror with their phone.

Can we get this guys and the Slap Chop/Shamwow guy in the same commercial? The combo inspiration and in-your-faceness would be unstoppable.
But seriously, I feel kind of bad for the guy. I can only imagine what will happen when he finally realizes he WON’T realize his dream.
n9n3
His seemingly duplicitous and inept pitch is clearly embarrassing, but he has gone further with his idea than most capable people with legitimate ideas. That says something.
Coswyn
If your entrepreneurection lasts for longer than 5 years, seek medical attention immediately.
anderlan
Well power to him for trying, but it sounds like he has had more than enough time to teach himself programing and make the site himself. So I call pipe dream.
Johann Schmidt
maybe he should just focus on “THE BUTTON” and integrate it with facebook. that actually sounds like a cool idea.

@mrmcarter: Hold that check. I’ve got an idea about how users can send money to each other without a check or credit card.

Anyone remember Six Degrees social network?
It was based on the old adage that it only takes six steps of separation to link any two people in the world?
What happened to that? And more to the point of the post, when did that go live? (Also, when did it go offline?)
CrispyAardvark
His videos have been removed from youtube.
elvisml2
I just wonder, does this guy have an account on facebook?
And that “THE BUTTON” idea? I just… why would anyone want that?

Apparently this guy is a graduate of Lehigh University’s Marketing department (and this is the video he comes up with…)

No wonder marketing is holding our business school’s rankings back.

Is he the average white guy rapper? They have the same awkwardness.

Sir, you are a relentless individual who fully believes that if you works hard enough, you will succeed. For in America, hard work guarantees you success.
I regret to inform you, however, that this is not the case. working hard on an absolutely horrible project will get you nowhere, unless you can entirely finance yourself. And even in that case, it will not get you far, only into bankruptcy.
Wait, scratch that. I do not regret to inform you of this. I hope that it will be drilled into your head until you give up and try, just try to do something productive in life.

His next idea is this site that you can type in any word and find sites about that word…hell call these words “keywords”.
Sam Berns
@Twink182: Yikes, he has 3 favorites, one of them is Lehigh University. I hope he shows up here, that’d be awesome.

Am I the only one who thinks this guy looks a lot like Charlie from Always Sunny?
NatCudahy508
He had the dream in 1999 but didn’t register his domain until 2005, 1 year after facebook came out…

Id prob act like this if I thought I was in a “Dream” too.

It’s promotion for the upcoming season of The Office. Steve Carrel is being replaced by Leebow. Dunder Mifflin is taking a new direction.
NOW THAT’S COMEDY!

He throws like a girl.

@SeventhExile Speaks: There are actually a couple ways, without getting a patent first. The first is to have signed witness documentation of it, preferably a notary public.
The second way is to file what’s called a provisional patent. It’s the starting point that has to be updated within a year to a full patent, but for $85 it is a hell of a lot cheaper then going full patent right up front. It gets you on the books, and you get some time to raise capital.

Are you sure that video isn’t from ‘Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!’ from Adult Swim??? If not they need to hire him and make it a threesome! He’s a perfect fit.

why does he keep quoting the lyrics of queen’s ‘one vision’?

@Dave J.: But does your idea have a BUTTON?

Awww I was expecting a nude dude. Wait, that’s Fleshbot. Foiled again.

Damnit, I read his last name as “leblow.”

wow, his video is sooo ’99 that i’m gonna start prepping for Y2K right away!

I’d love to see this guy on that Shark Tank show.

i dont know if its ok to laugh or cry in pity that there are people that flush money down the drain. even the cost of the promo video (however marginal) is a waste. I wonder where i could get one of those tee shirts
