This may be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. The site is called http://www.wantsforsale.com/, and it's run by a couple who LITERALLY paint what they want (iphone, beer, etc) – and then charge you for the painting what it would cost to buy them what they want. For example: iPhone painting - $649.17, beer painting - $7. These two – geniuses or finaglers??

Concerned by this statistic, Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon undertook a yearlong experiment of consuming food and drink that came only from within 100 miles of their apartment in Vancouver.
