MyFreeImplants.com - Another weired biz model .
April 29, 2008
ATLANTA — Hundreds of young Atlanta women are signed up on a Web site that some critics are calling total exploitation. The founders call it free enterprise. And just about everyone Channel 2 showed it to called it shocking. It’s called MyFreeImplants.com and it’s a donation site for young women who want free breast implants. But it’s what they do to get the big money that’s troubling for some.
“Everyone uses sex to sell. That’s what this really is. It’s marketing and this is America,” said MyFreeImplants.com founder Jay Moore.
MyFreeImplants.com is a business venture hatched at a bachelor party in Las Vegas to help young women raise thousands of dollars for breast augmentation surgery through online donors.
The Web site has taken off. Five-thousand women are now signed up. One woman took her bid for new breasts to YouTube.
The surgery isn’t cheap. It’s usually $4,000 for silicon implants and $5,000 for saline. The money is held in an account until the goal is reached and then sent directly to the surgeon selected.
But it’s how the women get the donations that is raising some people’s eyebrows.

I resent that this website is being dubbed as “total exploitation.” I am getting a 6400 breast augmentation for free? How is that exploiting me? Just because some of the women that sign up are giant whores and send out hardcore videos doesnt mean everyone does. And no matter what ANYONE does it is their CHOICE! That is antonymous with exploitation.
