I don't see any problem per se with a self-signed certificate on a site
which does not purport to protect anything sensitive (such as financial
transactions). The problem with this particular certificate is that
the common name identifier is both wrong (www) and badly formattted
(http://) But both of those errors can be corrected very quickly.

Why pay a CA if you don't trust the CA model?
