In what may well be our first SCOOP in the history of stupidbusinessideas.com, and we really aren’t expecting any more, we have discovered a curious domain name holding by our favorite social futility network – Facebook.

In what started out as a ‘not-so-stupid-idea’, your hosts here at SBI were working on a possible plan for WorldTV involving ad revenues and charity. We thought of an initiative that many websites could get involved in, displaying a logo on their website. The name we came up with for this idea… AdAid.

This flush of creativity all stemmed from an impromptu staff outing to the Cliffs of Moher – a particularly inspiring but rather windy spot on the left coast of Ireland. Upon our return to home base, we looked up the domain name AdAid.org, but guess what we found when we visited the domain… the Facebook home page.

At first we thought it was some kind of weird cookie behaviour but indeed, adaid.org really does link to Facebook. Here’s a Google search for Facebook and AdAid…

Would Facebook like to tell us something? If they don’t have any immediate plans for the domain, perhaps they could donate it to the cause? Quite apart from anything else, if they have it as a private domain registration, why is it linked to their homepage!

You may find it hard to believe but we do actual make our share of mistakes at Stupid Business Ideas. We, just like everyone else out there, are always second/double guessing ourselves. There are times when we really could do with a second opinion and a bit of guidance. Strangely enough some people have told us that it is about time we tried using our heads. Well, we really got our heads together on this one and finally worked out what “no man is an island” means. So we set about solving one of life’s great problems… making major mistakes and repeating them over and over.

We have all been told throughout our lives that “Two Heads Are Better Than One”! Well after exhausting scientific research and statistical analysis we can confirm that two heads really are better than one.

But let’s face it… it sucks to have to drag someone else along with you just because you need the benefit of an extra head. Certain situations demand discretion but also require the improved judgement of two heads. Here at Stupid Business Ideas we have the solution…Custom Made Second Heads!

Enjoy all the benefits of having a second head around but none of the inconvenience of a second person. You will only need one bus/plane ticket from now on, as your second head can be conveniently stowed beneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead baggage compartments. Start minimizing your mistakes and even stop repeating your legendary gaffes.

Bonus feature: if you like getting inebriated, you have the ability to not only get out of your head but you can now also get out of your second head.

Head on down to one of our Second Head Shops to get your virtually identical second head made by our renaissance-inspired head duplicate artists. Simply, stay motionless for five hours and thirty-six minutes while we make a papier-mache mould of your head and then come back 2-3 weeks later to collect your remarkably familiar looking second head. Believe us you will never look back or look better or use poor judgement again.

Be the wise, mature one of your group of friends and also the one who gets the most wasted…get your Second Head now!

Toronto, Canada – June 27th 2007 (StupidPR) — John Dickington just had sweet and sour pork with special fried rice delivered to his home by Mr Kung-Po’s Oriental Express. While eating his pretty average dinner, John mulled over his plans for the evening and decided to stay home and watch last week’s American Idol episode he has on Tivo.

Skinectity, New York – June 27th (StupidPR) — Emma Smithberg is pleased to announce a peaceful resolution to the stand-off between her and her cat, Mr Fluffkins. Mr Fluffkins had initially refused to re-enter the house having run out when Emma answered the door to her neighbour, Mrs Enid Jones. After, the threat of an ass-kicking and the offer of some funky tuna Mr Fluffkins acquiesced and re-entered the house without further incident.
