But I'm like, well, what if you can make an ad that is the product? What if ads could be the product? How could you get people to look at these things as if that's the only thing they're there for? Now, great advertising is one thing, but there are very few great ads. So anyway, here's the idea.

So I think it could make a ton of money and literally there'd be almost nothing to do to make this thing happen, except getting the word out. And I think the word would spread so rapidly.

So I have had this idea for a number of years, which I don't like, actually. I don't like it because I think it's good, but it's ugly in a sense in that I actually don't, in a sense, I don't want to see this idea in the world. But there's something about it that seems so simple and that it would be so popular that I can't get out of my head. So here's the idea.
