Man Offers $77,777 To Own Israel And Pennsylvania On New Online Map

VirtualWorldRealEstate.com- A Unique Site That Sells And Displays Virtual Real Estate

For Immediate Release

SALT LAKE CITY/EWORLDWIRE/April 25, 2006 --- Walter Fairley of Omega-Mart purchased Pennsylvania and Israel for a sum of $77,777. At first the president of Virtual World Real Estate, Gary Ewell, believed that the purchase of $1,777 was to own a small area in Pennsylvania and Israel. To Ewell's surprise it was just the initial deposit to own the whole state of Pennsylvania plus the entire country of Israel. Fairley’s reason for buying both pieces of land is simple- he just had to have them.

Obviously, Fairley did not purchase the actual state and country. Rather he purchased advertising space on the new Web site, Virtual World Real Estate. Now, as sole-ruler of Pennsylvania and Israel, Fairley can do as he pleases with the properties, including linking them to his Web site, www.omega-mart.net.........

A Million to One

Chances Are Imitators Can't Match This Student's By-the-Pixel Web Sales Success

.................."Tew calls this head-cocking creation "a big collage of different colored ads." It looks like a bulletin board on designer steroids, an advertising train wreck you can't not look at. Think "Where's Waldo?," only more cluttered and without a Waldo"..................................Washington Post- A Million to One

This article on pixel advertising in the Washington Post was written by Don Oldenburg. I love his analogy of comparing Alex Tew's milliondollarhomepage.com to a "where's Waldo" scene but unfortunately Don did not spot the the eluxive Waldo on the MDHP! Of course, I am in the process of writng Don and pointing him in the right direction!
