Ebooks Made of YouTube Comments Invade Amazon Kindle Store 

From the press release:

The Internet slang of YouTube comments is treated as fresh dialogue, and sold through Amazon.com in the form of massive, self-generated e-books. In an auto-cannibalistic model, user generated content is sold back to the users themselves, parasitically exploiting both corporations: YouTube and Amazon.

Ha. This is a pretty awesome idea.
