Pitch your most ridiculous startup idea in one sentence. Commenters, say why you would or wouldn't invest!

Basically the title. What is a business idea you saw or heard of and thought "surely this can't be real" but the other person was totally serious? I'll go first - a CEO I was talking to went in detail about meeting this student (emphasised on destiny and how bright the student was, etc etc) and said his idea was - Companies can't advertise on their carry bags by law so we should buy that advertising space and sell it to other companies. For clarification - Courts have said a consumer can't be a buyer as well as advertiser, so if a carry bag has the brand's logo or something on it, you can't charge for it. This CEO and the "bright student" thought that the law just prohibited the brand from advertising its own self on the bag. I asked him if he was trying to say we should buyout the space on all McDonald's carry bags and advertise Domino's or Reynolds on it, and he said "Yes."

A friend pitched an app for finding people to stand in lines for you. Somehow, it got funding. It was a fellow founder from SF. What's the weirdest business concept you've encountered?
