problem is, I think most of the means to cash out are down and/or under legal investigation. There's a pretty entertaining ( if shit-filled ) thread on Something Awful about it.

I'm pretty sure we already discussed this. But we don't buy them from amazon I don't think. Also I already have a million.

"Diapers" as symbol, not necessarily accurate in this context.
