Default Paid Curiosity an interesting form of advertising

I run across a interesting advertising site ( www.paidcuriosity.com ) ,
where all advertising is like surprises in boxes. This looks like will
compel visitors to look in each box for its content.. Is this idea unique
and the first of its kind? ( If yes, it might be good to buy a box there, if
it gets some media coverage it will surely return the investment hundred of
times over )

I agree. In my personal experience people don't like to feel like they're being tricked, in the same way that they hate popups. It's like walking into a store labelled one thing and suddenly somebody grabs you, throws you in a van and takes you somewhere else. This is particularly frustrating for people who are newer to the internet. My father attended a computing course a few years ago that I ended up teaching parts of, and one of the biggest gripes the people there had was frustration at feeling out of control. Stuff like popups, hidden links and so on compound this a hundred fold and put them right off.
