I was idle in the webmaster radio chat room when I saw oilman post a link to this website.
Evidently this guy has a bet with his Girlfriend that if he can 2,000,000 hits she will have a 3some with him. Sounds fishy to me…
After looking over the site You see the only place to check out pictures of her is on There Metrodate profile… Metrodate profile? I thought she was his boyfriend… anyway its a affililate link anyway.

SCAM if I ever saw one. Where are the pics of the 2 of them and I bet people will back down pretty quick.

I should make a similar bet with my husband (I get to choose the sexual favour). Might make him pay a bit more attention to his websites and write some content for a change

Idiot Wins a Threesome
A guy named Jim bet his girfriend Allison that he could get 2 million visitors to a website. She didn’t think he could do it.
Talk about your good bets. If he loses, he wears a t-shirt for a week that says he’s an idiot. If he wins, …
