Comedian Jon Lajoie Launches a 'Kickstarter' to Become Super Rich

Comedian Jon Lajoie has started a "campaign" with one simple goal: he wants to become filthy rich.

His plan is simple: he wants people to give him money, for no reason other than for him to become even wealthier than he currently is. His goal: 500 million dollars.

"After I saw how Veronica Mars and Zach Braff fans responded to their projects in a mind-blowing way, I couldn't help but think: What if instead of relying on traditional methods of wealth acquisition, I tried something different? What if I turned to you, my fans, for the money?" asks Lajoie in a video that accompanies his campaign.

"By you simply handing over your hard-earned money to me, I could become super rich, without all the added pressure of actually doing something," says Lajoie.

Though the campaign is only asking for hypothetical money, there's a reward system. Depending on how much you donate, you could get absolutely nothing, a video of Lajoie being disgusted with your Facebook profile, or the ability to brag to your friends about meeting Jon Lajoie, although it hadn't actually happened.

Lajoie, known for videos such as "Show me your Genitals" and "Everyday Normal Guy," has recently answered fans' questions on a Reddit AMA (ask me anything).

How do you feel about Lajoie's goofy take on Kickstarter? Would you give up some of your hard-earned cash just to make Jon super rich? Share your thoughts in the comments!
