Is Jason Grunstra’s MyFreeImplants.com the answer to some women’s dreams -- or just to those who want to see them naked?

Jason Grunstra's "eureka" moment did not occur while sitting under an apple tree like Newton — nor while flying a kite in the rain, like Franklin. Then again, Grunstra wasn't busy discovering the law of gravity or the conductivity of electricity. Grunstra's "discovery" was this: Americans are obsessed with breasts.
One of the strippers had recently gotten breast implants. Another was sad because she could not afford them. So Grunstra did what any gentlemen would do — he started raising cash for the flat-chested one.
"I said, 'I've got five on it!'" he recalls. "And everybody else said, 'I've got five on it, too.' By the end of the night we had $70 bucks."
That's a long way from the cost of a breast implant operation, which can run $4,000 and up. But for Grunstra, this was more than just crumpled dollar bills stuffed in a thong. This was a big idea.
Thus the concept of "MyFreeImplants.com" was born, and it stayed with Grunstra even after he returned home from Las Vegas and sobered up. The idea was simple: Set up a Web site to raise money for women who want breast implants. The women pose for photographs on the site, and so-called benefactors pay for the right to look — and to "interact," as Grunstra puts it, via email and blog posts.
Just two years later, Grunstra claims the site has over 10,000 benefactors and one thousand women competing for their attention and their dollars. He says 28 women have already made their goal and are featured prominently on the site in before and after photos.
Benefactors create profiles and buy message credits at $1.25 a pop, which allows them to send messages to women they see on the site. A dollar goes toward the women's goal; 25 cents goes to Grunstra and the site. Grunstra says the site has more than 5 million page-views a month, brings in $1,000 a day, and generates a monthly profit of about $3,000.
Ashley's photos are tame compared to some of the others on the site, but Grunstra insists that My Free Implants is not about pornography. Rather, he says, "It's a service for meeting other people with similar interests."
