I know what you mean. I'm appalled at such an idea - but I can't dismiss it as having no market. And the last line of the article seems to indicate some people have the same opinion.

However, I think I am going to invest in this founder anyway. If we can connect her with a good technical cofounder I can see great things in the future.
As everyone says, invest in the team, not the idea.
