The sad fact of human desperation is that people screw each other over a lot harder and more frequently in times of scarcity instead of helping each other out like they ought to. When economies crash, scammers and other scum of the business world go into a feeding frenzy, dragging a lot of broke people deeper into debt and humiliation for the sake of ill-gotten profits. Sounds a lot like a significant portion of craigslist, doesn't it? See, while I enjoy the inherent absurdity of some of the ugliness on craigslist, I'm genuine in my feelings that it represents, and over-represents, a lot of the worst parts of our society. I'd rather see banner ads on the site so they can employ some people to filter out all the trash than keep the front page clean and let the rats nest unmolested. Sadly, you can't make three clicks on craigslist without stepping in a steaming pile of something like today's entries.

I WANT TO MAKE A DVD WITH STUPID CRAP ON IT (I DONT KNOW)

looking for someone who wants to create something ala bumfights. not for pussys or people who are broke. im thinking this is better posted for people who live in las vegas la or new york. unfortunetly i live here. i have a bunch of ideas, maybe we can make some money i dont know. im not sure which direction i want to go will depend on who i meet. but think bumfights meets robot chicken

Boy, this guy seems like a real winner. It takes a special kind of poison chromosome to find inspiration in the high art that is videos of homeless people beating each other up. For those of you who don't speak asshole, this fella wants someone else to bankroll his non-specific non-idea for a video series that, at best, aspires to a total lack of originality. Also, he's a bitter, hateful SOB whose entire understanding of the culture in his own country has been gleaned from network television. I don't know about you, but I have to force my friends to hide my wallet to keep me from sending this guy all of my money so he can make his amazing Stupid Crap DVD.

ROCK STARS WANTED!!!

We are currently looking for Field Reps to promote Comcast Digital Cable...

This ad went on for a lot longer, but anyone with half a brain really shouldn't need to read any further. If there's one thing I can't stand about the modern job market, aside from the fact that can't accommodate ten percent of our country's population, is that it's littered with irritating terminology and general abuses of the English language. Seriously, rock stars? That's worse than when a company needs an "accounting guru". Maybe these ads just target that sad demographic who all want to grow up to be Vince Offer. Really, any company advertising for a horrible job ought to just be honest and say, "Crappy, High-Turnover Position for Desperate Schmucks- Call Now!"

This ad just has "reputable" written all over it. It's an offer to make loads of money from home that has approximately zero understanding of how our noble language functions and links out to a website that is nothing but numbers. But by far my favorite part of this ad is the mess of foreign words or possibly gibberish at the bottom of the page. Maybe I'm just not up on Internet marketing techniques, but strange Latin incantations don't seem like the best way to scam idiots into your pyramid scheme.
