Using the internet for free food?

GreyOrange writes "With all the offers for free food on the internet how can a hungry person differitiate between the bogus ones and the ones that fill the tummy? One legitimate offer I've found so far is from www.jellybelly.com were they give you a free sample. But theres a tremendous amount of websites that are missleading and offering food in exchange for credit application and other horrible things like spam and never living up to their end of the deal. Got any good websites for free edibles, how about other things that might be of equal value that are not bogus. How about some methods you have picked up for all you veterans out there. Is there a directery out there that is true to its word, how about a wikipedia page?"

April Fools: An Important Message

[Anonymous Coward]

For four years straight, Slashdot has consistently run poor, unfunny "gag" stories on its front
page for April Fools Day. As a united userbase, we must take a stand. Enough is enough. If
an attempt is going to be made at the funny, it should be bold and
pervasive. Right now regular Slashdot readers tremble at the approach of April due to
the impending parade of sickening unfunny that is April Fools on Slashdot.

If you're SICK OF IT and FED UP, mod this post up. If you're afraid of the "metamod
consequences", use underrated. The editors may modbomb this post, but if enough of you
vote with your points, maybe they'll get the message:

Make it funny, or don't make it.

-Slashdot.

Amen! One clever, hilarious April Fool's story would be much better than a bunch of marginally funny ones.

I think you missed what they're probably doing. I'm pretty sure that what we're seeing is a flood of stories that they normally reject. I doubt that they made up a single story today from what I've seen so far (except the poll).

That doesn't make any of it funny.

Who said anything about funny? Its April FOOLS Day, not April Funny Day. Its supposed to be foolish and dumb.

Just because we're nerds and supposedly more intelligent than average hu-mans doesn't mean we're not still stupid as hell.

Dumb

Those people out there that don't think today's April Fools posts are funny is because you fail to realize that these are normal submissions the editors have to deal with on a daily basis.

Please take note of the from the real-submissions-unedited dept. subtitle under each post. These posts were submitted as serious questions and that's what makes them so funny. I think it's great that the editors are sharing with us some of the lamest posts that they've had to read through.

Keep 'em coming!
