Slashdot Mirror
OddTod Laid Low by the Law
nickynicky9doors writes "The International Herald Tribune has a NYT article on the recent woes of Tod Rosenberg who started 'Laid Off: A Day in the Life'. Mr. Rosenberg started www.oddtodd.com to tell the tale of a laid off guy who spends days watching TV and eating chips. Oddtod became so successful Mr. Rosenberg reaped cash donations and national TV exposure. Unfortunately it also brought the attention of the Department of Labor who have explained the catch of having to be actively looking for work while collecting unemployment benefits. Another dot com bust."
LOL
Are you even allowed to post "LOL" on slashdot or does the lameness filter prevent that sort of thing?
I'm laughing not only because of the funny scene in History of The World, but because this is the perfect "I was too lazy to look shit up on google" post. I bet it would have been quicker to find it on google and copy-paste it into this little window, than to type all that stuff, especially with the Caps and *stars* and the freakish lack of spelling errors.
So here I am pointing that out. And I haven't looked anything up either, and I;m not gonna. This is what makes slashdot so great
Is there a way to see ONLY the -1 comments without wading thru all that +3 bullshit?? -1 is where the action is.
You know, that's something that I found odd when I moved here; in the South there are 24-hour Wal-marts everywhere, but in the bay area, I don't know of any. when I mention this to people here, someone always says, "I think there's one over in ", but no one can ever confirm one.
No Waffle Houses, either. *grump*
