[Rain Man]

I've posted job ads on craigslist before. You get 800,000 responses to sift through, but if I recall correctly we've actually hired a couple of people successfully off of craigslist.

The spammers and scammers try to ruin everything on the Internet, and they're just morons who should shoot themselves in the head. They don't even scam people competently.

As an example, I get regular e-mails from some travel site where people going on trips can find other people who might want to go with them. I originally signed up because I needed to find some other people to go to the Amazon or Timbuktu, since my wife doesn't want to go and I don't quite feel safe going alone. Those trips are on hold, but I get e-mails whenever new people sign up and it's kind of fun to see where people want to go and that sort of thing.

Of course, there are Nigerian scammers on there, and they're complete doofus idiots. They always put a picture of a model up, and the model is always from a place that doesn't exist like, "Florida City, Idaho", or "Seattle, North Carolina", and ....

1. The model is always either bisexual or looking for a husband.

2. The model apparently can't write English at more than a third-grade level, despite being from all-American cities like Florida City, Idaho or Seattle, North Carolina.

3. The model is often quite lazy, either copying and pasting the same answer to every question (e.g.: "Enter the type of food you like:" "I a good woman looking for husband. I bisexual.") or writing "I tell you later" as a response to every question.

4. They're so lazy that they won't even post pictures of white models. They're always black models. I understand why it happens, because Nigerian scammers probably prefer black models and have those sites bookmarked, but c'mon, people, do your market research. You should be posting 7 white models to every 2 Hispanic models to every 1 black model, and then throw an Asian in there occasionally.

I realize that they only need to fool the most naive one percent of people, but c'mon. Put in a little bit of work and go for the bottom five percent of the population, and you've quintupled your market. And the bottom five percent is not setting your sights too high.
