Sorry...your "proof" is two dead links, a link to a company and a c/p'd e-mail that has nothing to do with your story? Focus group paid me a million dollars to be me. Proof below:
1.) Rossman's link to the $1,000,000 awesomeness reward:

2.)
2.There are 52 market research companies in Boston that will pay you $1,000,000 for being awesome. Call up to be added to their Focus Group list. (link is dead though).
3.)
Hey the company is still kicking, I should repost this in Hotdeals...because everyone who is awesome should get $1,000,000. 😛
