Urine flavored beer.

I've got the winner right here, even the branding would be super easy.

Its a pill that turns your urine into alcohol. I call it The Jesus.

Suddenly its a good thing to have burning when you pee.

Billy Mays here. Are you tired of spending all your money at the bars to pick up chicks with no guarantee that you'll get anything out of it? Are homeless people peeing all over your public places?

You even already have plenty of people willing to spread The Jesus.
 
^^ Imagine the number of possibilities. Want a strong flavor?.. drink less water and pop in a couple of caffeine pills. Want it spicy? Eat a curry. Limitless possibilities!
 
Start your own country. Have two parties that argue over taxation. One party sais vote for us and we'll tax the rich more to pay for all of these nice highly inefficient programs for the low income. The other is saying, no vote for us and we'll tax everyone more. And no one is saying to themselves "why is the choice tax them more or tax us more? why do we have to pay more more more!!!??"

Boom, sustainable business model. Everyone knows this.
 
Start a conversation-for-hire service for engineers. "Need to talk about your ideas, but everyone thinks they're boring? We'll listen, because We Care(TM)."
 
Cater to the super-elite rich with some type of luxury good. They will soon be the only ones with any money.

What type of good depends on your skills. There is already Lambo/Ferrari and designer bullshit. Find a new type of luxury market that would be exclusive to you and hard for other people to enter. Like luxury computer accessories, something like that.
 
Religion or politics can bring you billions.

Just must have a talent - to lie to people. All you have to do.

Or you could market to the people protesting as the 99% so they can be hypocrites, but pretend not to be. Whoops Apple and Starbucks already exist. :biggrin:

Be a middle middleman to a company that exploits people for dirt cheap. Also lie often. Nevermind, the last part is redundant.
 
Make a golf club that has a big kazoo on it so it makes a buzzing sound when you swing it.. and tell people it helps them with their swing speed. Sell it for 3 easy payments of $69.99 and if they order in the next 5 minutes, you will cancel one of those payments.
 
I was watching one of the OWS videos from europe where somebody was flying an RC helicopter. I got to thinking, i bet the police would like to shoot that down.

So you start a company and a publicity campaign that highlights the threats of civilian owned UCAVs. Then sell anti-aircraft munitions to local police departments. charge $1000 / shot for a computer controlled bottle rocket launcher. Use DRM so only your brand of bottle rockets will work. offer training courses and cool upgrades like jamming and radar surveillance.

then start a shadow company that sells increasingly more advanced radio controlled helicopters to the protestors of the world at fair prices. So you've built this empire around all this escalation, but you're a good guy because you let the freedom fighters get first dibs on the technology and bleed the cops through the nose every time they have to upgrade.

We're currently recruiting investors.

Why not just get a bunch of hackers to do the job for you?

Trade US dollars to Zimbabwe dollars = insta gazillionaire.

Or, write a software that can steal pennies from bank accounts and deposit it to your own account...

Or, create a weather machine that can deplete the O-zone layer and hold the UN hostage...

Or, create a giant earthquake machine and threaten the world with earthquakes...

Or, short of failing the above, just hijack a nuclear warhead and hold the world ransom...

A service that picks up those junk "newspapers" that get thrown on everyone's driveway. Bonus points if you also run the company that places them there in the first place.
Charge for advertising in the newspaper, drop them at driveways, and then charge the homeowner to remove them. It's brilliant!
