An Attention Span Ponzi Scheme is a system of recruitment of people to pay attention to a topic. People recruited to the topic are then encouraged to drag in the attention spans of others.
The entire system collapses when everyone realizes that the topic is bankrupt of value to be discussed in the first place.

Examples of Attention Span Ponzi Schemes include chain letters, time-wasting Facebook applications, and any social reference group that is based on recruiting others to participate or play for the subject to have sustained interest.

Get the Attention Span Ponzi Scheme mug.This is all the rage among young drug addicted mothers in Schenectady. It is an event like none other, in which a woman snorts a line of cocaine off of her infant. This can only be done with an infant as when the child reaches toddler-hood, it is considered sharing. Once relegated to the coke-whore sub culture, it has been brought to the forefront by the news media in light of the one successful prostitution sting conducted this year by the worlds most corrupt police department, Schenectady's finest. Unfortunately, this is not Vegas, so what happens here does not stay here. Look for this activity to come to a town near you....
Once at a party, I saw a girl attempt to perform a Schenectady snort....and she almost dropped her baby!

I started a pyramid scheme eight years ago, and made $32,761,449 before people found out about it. But by then, I had already retired to the remote jungles of Brazil, where I built my deluxe compound equipped with the latest anti-tracking technology.

Get the Pyramid Scheme mug.A town in nwi and close to Chicago that is basically just the average of all of the towns that it borders. The kids here go to Lake Central High School. The northwest section of town that borders Munster, Indiana is where Briar Ridge Country Club is and where the wealthiest of Schererville reside. The few Asians and Indians that live in this town usually live in this area. The western border is Dyer, Indiana where the other half of the country club residents (usually the younger ones). The people in west Schererville are pretty well-off but are more under the radar and not as showy about it. The southern portions of town border Saint John, Indiana and Crown Point, Indiana. These are where most of the serbians, greeks, and macedonians live as the orthodox churches are nearby this area. This is where most of the people as a whole live and is lively with house parties. The northern area of Schererville borders Highland, Indiana and Griffith, Indiana. It is very loosely populated and is mostly industrial land. The people who do live there though are somewhat hickish. Finally, the eastern portion of Schererville that borders Merrillville, Indiana is where the majority of Blacks and Hispanics live. There are nice houses there as well, but not too many parties because the cops are always watching. Overall, this town has qualities of every town that borders it and is just an average American suburb plus a lot of traffic.
