Dear Poor Lucky Me,
We are all aware of the phrase “Million Dollar Idea” This phrase has been used for many, many years. However, a million dollars ain’t what it used to be. Isn’t it time we change the phrase to ‘Multi Million Dollar Idea” and if it is time to change it, how do we do that?
Thanks…
Love ,

You are correct. The new millennium has brought several infuriating “million dollar ideas” that have nearly crushed my own entrepreneurial spirit. Here are three examples:
1) The million dollar bra from Victoria Secret. What a god damn stupid thing. I read about that bra and had to get under my covers for three days.
2) The million dollar hamburger. This stupid piece of crap actually only costs $1000. Why is it called the million dollar burger when it doesn’t cost a million dollars? Why don’t people just light their money on fire instead of ordering this?
3) Seriously, I’m still pissed about the bra, that’s going to be example #1 and #3.
Other things that annoy me: BP’s solar powered gas station, lattes, and loud motorcycles. So yes, we should definitely change the phrase the “Multi-Million Dollar Idea” if for no other reason than to distance a good idea from all these stupid and annoying ideas. And it’s true that a million dollars just doesn’t get you as far as it used to. I think we should change the phrase to “Bad ass money making idea” or “Enough money to invest and live off the dividends ideas”. The way we can make this change is to mock people who use the old phrase. Mocking is the quickest way to change people.
Sincerely,
Dear The Eco-Friendly Lightbulb Guy,
Poor Lucky Me
