Alternatively titled: "How To Be On The Internet And Look Like a Damn Fool in Three Easy Steps."

Meet the newest Twitter-based company which is sure to succeed, TwitterAutoFollowBots. What's their promise? They'll get you followers on Twitter ... for a reasonable price!

Want an extra 100 "people" following you? Just give them five dollars. It will totally make you look like a popular Internet user! That's just a nickel per person. And I'm sure each of these "people" are totally legitimate and respected people that will retweet you until the end of the Mayan calendar and continually speak about how awesome you are.

But wait! A hundred is nothing. How about TEN THOUSAND people, or almost ONE PERCENT of Internet celebrity Perez Hilton's legion? That can happen without any work on your part! Just give them $450 and it's done. That's only 4.5 cents per additional fan you'll receive. What a deal!

(This premium package will take more than 90 days to complete, according to the fine print. I'm sure by then you will still remember what your Twitter password is.)

I'm not sure what's sadder here. That somebody actually is selling this, or that people out there are actually buying it.
