I think it just depends on how many backers he can attract. As I said, I view it as nothing more than a crowdsourced group order -- and I have no reason to think such a thing couldn't be successful.
I don't have to admire either him or his imitative rag to agree that this could really start something. For a given value of "something" that is a bit toned down from his egotistical
product description.
