It's not a parody. It's funny, but it's real. This diet saved my life. I mean you could spend a lot of time debating what I really mean, or you could just assume I mean what I say, get the book, improve your nutritional habits, lose tons of weight and live longer. Just consider the possibility that maybe it is that simple. What kind of crazy-ass dipshit would kid around when he was talking about having heart surgery three times by the age of 35?<p>Anyway, as far as your other question, there are tons of people making money hand over fist in affiliate marketing. I hate to be a dick but if you want to make money in affiliate marketing, you shouldn't just build some random complicated system in the hopes that maybe it might work, you should PAY FOR ADVICE. Just buy a couple ebooks on affiliate marketing and figure out which systems work. Even if you buy a bad book, you learn a little about how to spot bullshit. $35 or $97 on an ebook costs a lot less than several weeks or months of programmer time at a startup. I mean that's just crazy.
