Entrepreneur Counts on George W. to Fund His Dreams

Do you want a piece of George? That’s what Excelsior-based entrepreneur Ryan Bantz wants to know as he launches his new website, http://www.pieceofgeorge.com

Excelsior, MN (PRWEB) February 20, 2006

A pieceofgeorge features a pixelized portrait of George W. Bush. and each part of his universally-renowned likeness is for sale as an online advertising billboard. Bantz theorizes that this site may become quickly known -- and hit upon -- worldwide because everyone with a business, and certainly everyone with a political opinion, can benefit by being connected to http://www.pieceofgeorge.com

While Bantz is quick to acknowledge that the President cannot be bought at any price, Bush’s computer likeness is another story. Comprised of more than 15,000 blocks, the portrait will be divided into quadrants for purchase by individuals, organizations and companies who then may post their logos and/or web links on the site. The pixel blocks will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis.

Bantz has saved the “articulating portion” of the facial portrait as a single block, so that, in effect, a savvy advertiser could claim that George is giving their particular business “lip service,” or has been seen chatting about them.

Bantz admits that capitalizing on the President’s name and good looks may be a “cheeky” advertising angle but he’s counting on it to create buzz.

The 22-year-old is not only creative and bold, he’s highly motivated. Bantz is hedging his bets that as the website helps promote other businesses, its revenues will help capitalize his own recent start-up, MRBtek, an IT services company.

“I have been passionate about high-tech my whole life. I hope that this can help me further my career while giving people an opportunity to express themselves,” he added.

Even after it is completely sold out, http://www.pieceofgeorge.com will remain an active site until at least 2010. The site also has a posting for Ryan’s business goals, offers FAQ’s and space for a BLOG.
