You can win someones soul

This is insane. Some guy in Tampa (I live in Tampa but am planning on moving to Taiwan to teach soon) started a website where someone is going to win his soul. The domain is http://www.winmysoul.com and you can donate or send in a stamped envelope for entry into the drawing. The winner gets:

A clause, which entitles the buyer to a percentage of my taxable income for the rest of my life with a guaranteed minimum of $500.00 per year.
A clause, which entitles the buyer to the right to chose the first name of all of my children. The name has to be gender specific and cannot contain profanity or derogatory words.
A clause, which entitles the buyer to a percentage of profit ownership of any intellectual works that I create. The buyer will have no control over the direction of the works or how I manage or sell the works. They are just entitled to a % of the profit in addition to clause 1.
A clause, which will require me to provide a report on each year of my life after the sale to the buyer on an annual basis.
A clause, which leaves a percentage of my estate to the buyer in a legal and binding will.
A clause, which stipulates that I must write a book, after the sale of my soul is finalized. I will have up to 2 years to complete the book after the contract is signed.
A clause, which will require that I perform a set amount of community service each year.
A clause, which requires that I donate blood a minimum of twice per year.
A clause, which requires that I include organ donation in my will.
A clause, which requires that I will plant a minimum of two trees per year.
A clause, which provides the owner of my soul the option to pick the date of my wedding.
A clause, which requires that I send the owner of my soul a birthday card and present every year on my birthday.
A clause, which allows the owner of my soul to decide one new years resolution for me.
A clause, which provides the owner of my soul the option to plan my wedding.
A clause, which provides the owner of my soul the option to decide a message to be inscribed upon my tombstone.
A waiver of recourse. I will sign away my right to dispute this contract in any way. The contract will be final and binding.
A complete release of all liability to the buyer for any actions that I take during my possession of the soul.
Penalties for failure to meet the clauses in the contract.
A buy back clause. There will be a clause that allows me the option to buy back my soul for the price of $1,000,000.00.
A clause, which allows for the owner, if said owner is not satisfied with the performance of my soul, to resell my soul at a price determined by the owner. The owner is entitled to 100% of the profit from the resale of my soul. However, any sale or transfer of my soul must receive my final approval.

It is pretty cool in my opinion. Its a big risk but I guess we all need to change our lives in our own way. Personally I think moving to Taipei is medicine enough :slight_smile:

Its a shame we can’t choose the soul we get to win… I’d like to own the soul of a jazz or soul man, instead of being the lame honky I really am.

I won’t be entering the competition.

Very interesting guy. I wonder how he came up with that idea. :slight_smile:

I wonder how he marketed it.

I have an idea along the same general lines. I wonder what sort of lead time to give it, so that everyone can get in their bids…? And how to get media attention for it…?

The soul of someone who would sell his soul isn’t worth anything. :stuck_out_tongue:
