Am I missing something? I'm surprised to be the first to point out that this is very dangerous advice (to the extent bad passwords are dangerous).
All it does is add one, easily guessable bit of information -- for the first password the attacker seeks. And after someone has the first password, this method adds zero security; the attacker then has the passwords for every other website.
