The Worst Job At Google: a Year of Watching Terrible Things On the Internet

Cutting_Crew writes "Gizmodo has called attention to a story that describes the worst job you can get at Google: wading through and blocking objectionable content, which includes watching decapitations and beastiality. A ex-Google-employee who did just that tells his own story of a year-long stint of looking at the most horrible things on the internet. In the end, he needed therapy, and since he was a contractor, he was let go instead of being hired as a full time employee."

Completely off-topic, but love the sig - Brent Spiner is an *excellent* addition to Warehouse 13 this season. They've written him particularly well in that it's still rough to tell whether he's a tyrant attempting to cling to power, or genuinely concerned about the fate of the world. A friend and I were discussing it, and of all the Star Trek actors of all the different series, we concluded that just about the only regular character who could have done a similarly convincing job was Chief O'Brien.
