Tame The Bear
The Internet's overflowing with a million tips on handling
the recession, but if you were industrious enough to round
them up, maybe you wouldn't be jobless. Fine, almost
jobless. Grinning broadly as they bring it all together,
TameTheBear.com.
Started by a UofC alum recently axed from his TV comedy
writing gig, TTB posts articles, vids, and screeds offering
topical tidbits ranging from actually useful to mirthfully
useless, all under the mantra "The economy is like p*rn: We
don't care why it works, just as long as it makes our
pockets chubby". Potentially valuable posts include "Lying
At A Job Interview (part 1 of many)", which teaches
double-speak like "You are no longer fired for wasting
company time and money, you are now looking for a more
stable position"; an eBay-ish site where all goods (stained
couches, etc) are free; a $5 cell phone auditing site that
promises a monthly savings of up to 22%; and first dibs on
free stuff like concerts, movies, "and other unnecessarily
overpriced events". Then there's recession-related
time-wasters, like a poll about the "coolest job on earth"
(Archaeologist, Covert CIA Operative, Romance Novel Cover
Model (Male)...Town Crier?), and an article on how educated
professional women are rushing to become exotic dancers -- a
job you'd assume there'd always be demand for, but then
again, that's what town criers thought.
Tangential subjects include a Miss Cleo-style hotline where
users can choose from "140 authentic psychics" (who can
presumably give financial predictions), and an $8k hot tub
that vibrates and plays music underwater -- exactly what you
need! Fine, almost exactly what you need.
