I'm not one for Autographs. I do own a few, but for the most part I just don't see much need to have them.
That being said, this is a brilliant concept that should make millions.
At a time when the $2 billion per year autograph business runs rampant with counterfeits, it's tough to ensure your memorabilia is authentic. Thanks to LiveAutographs.com, a website that shills personalized video "autographs" from B-listers like Carmen Electra, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the cast of Lost, that problem may soon be obsolete. Trekkie and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington recently praised the service after paying $150 for a message from William Shatner, which took three months to arrive. Joke's on you Mike—I got a video from Shatner in an hour, and it only cost me iMovie and elbow grease. But for the last time Bill, my name isn't "Jackass". [LiveAutographs via TechCrunch, Reuters]
The reason for my lack of interest in autographs probably dates back to the mid 80's when I met Motley Crew in a small town dinner after seeing their concert as an opening act with Ozzy Osbourne. Of course....I had to get autographs...only to realize the next day all the jerks but one signed fake names.
