No, really.

Dutch private startup company Mars One is planning a human colony on Mars by 2023, ten years ahead of NASA. The $6billion project will be financed by turning it into ‘the biggest media event ever’. Auditions for the four Martian colonists begin this year.
The company sez:

Mars One will establish the first human settlement on Mars in 2023. A habitable settlement will be waiting for the settlers when they land. The settlement will support them while they live and work on Mars the rest of their lives. Every two years after 2023 an additional crew will arrive, such that there is a real living, growing community on Mars. Mars One has created a technical plan for this mission that is as simple as possible. For every component of the mission we have identified at least one potential supplier. Mars One invites you to join us in this next giant leap for mankind!

Naturally, Big Brother creator Paul Römer is a sponsor, and Nobel Prize winning physicist Professor Gerard ‘t Hooft (who features in the promo video above) seems enthusiastic too.
