Apparently, you can sell silence

[Dasquian Belargic]

Silence may be golden, but now, thanks to iTunes, it can be downloaded for a mere 99 cents.

Have it on repeat! :D

OMG.... Mankind is going down the drain...

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

while ingenious, it still has to be one of the dumbest things Ive read in a long time.

[Darth Viscera]

That's a rip off

[Je'gan Olra'en]

three of the tracks--all titled "Silent" and all by hip-hop group Slum Village--are labeled as explicit, even though there is only silence. For those who worry that the lack of sound will be too racy, iTunes offers "clean versions" as well.

Oi vey...

When Pompeii was going under the volcano, a man reentered the city with a pillow and a napkin tied to his head, thinking he'd survive.


Mankind is IMPROVING :)

if they can sell bottled water, they can sell silence. Not suprised.

[Rognan Dar]

But still, who is dumb enough to buy something like that? Kind of a lame question, huh? I guess there are people out there that have wasted their brain cells (or just never use them) enough to understand whats infront of them...

If you look at all the merchendise people buy its not surprising...people will and do buy anything.

As I stated, people who buy bottled water would be interested in this.

:lol:lol I'd forgotten about that.


Most famously, composer John Cage composed "4'33""--a 1952 piece that features just over four and a half minutes without sound. The BBC broadcast a live performance of the piece earlier this year--featuring the BBC Symphony Orchestra, no less.

That was probaly their best job, ever. I bet the music sheets were either just blank.. or had that rest symbol repeated over and over and over.

Best thing about those threads? I keep rereading them to say to people :)

LOL, the fact that there is a clean silence is a good thing I guess...

LOL!!!
