What would you do for $5? Better still, what would you pay $5 for?

Quick – what would you do for $5? What about a million dollars?

Web Watch has made many proposition bets for $1 – because you’d be surprised what people will do for one dollar, and it’s usually worth the price of handing over that bill.

You know what’s worth a $1 payment? Watching someone do a series of cartwheels across the fairway at The Masters tournament. Yes, they earned their money.

Getting back to the original question, as the old joke says, once you’ve identified that someone has a price to do a particular task, the rest is just negotiation.

Meet Trent. To some, Trent is a savior. (You might not want to shake his hand, though)

TRENT C. ARSENAULT IS A PROFESSIONAL SPERM DONOR.

Although, perhaps “professional” is not the correct word to use, as Trent Arsenault gives his sperm away for free to any interested party.

He claims at least 10 successful pregnancies, and suggests that those interested in his services use the “local pickup” option, although FedEx is available if necessary.

FOOD ALERT! Girl Scout cookie Thin Mints are still smaller, so try this recipe

1 Comment on FOOD ALERT! Girl Scout cookie Thin Mints are still smaller, so try this recipe

It really shouldn’t bother Web Watch as much as it does.

After all, eating too many cookies of any type isn’t good for you. Heck, even Cookie Monster says that “Cookies are a Sometimes Food”

But as the Chicago Sun-Times and others pointed out last year, Girl Scout cookies were getting a bit smaller, perhaps due to the recession. There’s even a FACEBOOK page devoted to fans who want to get their 8 cookies back in the box.

But now an entire whole year has passed since, and Web Watch dutifully went to the local grocery store to buy our annual allottment of Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Samoas from the Girl Scouts (and their parents) trying to sell off their excess inventory*.

And Web Watch can confirm that this year’s Thin Mints Economic Indicator shows that the economy is still in the gutter as the 2010 box looks to be the same as the 2009 box. That is, in 2010 we’re still looking at a smaller box and fewer cookies.

Introducing “My New Pink Button” (sometimes the jokes write themselves)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date February 15, 2010

Web Watch will refrain from making any commentary about MY NEW PINK BUTTON, a new makeup product proclaiming to add a youthful pinkness to a woman’s Lady Parts.

No – unlike Natalie Bui at the University of Colorado, Web Watch will not say that we are “repulsed” or state that it’s sad that “women have become so self-conscious of their bodies that they feel that even their most intimate parts must be altered and “beautified.”

We will not call My New Pink Button “yet another extreme product to alter women’s bodies to appear more like the porn star ideal“, as Little Miss Brightside has done.

Nor will we call My New Pink Button as the “worst Valentine’s Day Gift, ever“.

No, Web Watch will not do this.

What Web Watch can do is offer the following information, taken straight from the My New Pink Button website, allowing faithful Web Watch readers to form their own opinion on the product.

After all, My New Pink Button wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t some demand for it, right?

Read This Book: William Poundstone’s PRICELESS – THE MYTH OF FAIR VALUE

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 1, 2010

William Poundstone is one of Web Watch’s favorite writers, having written many books around the same theme of exposing various ways that professionals (magicians, street crooks, carnies, casinos, etc) lie, cheat, and steal their way into your wallet.

Some of Mr Poundstone’s books that you may already be aware of include:

All are great reads and lots of fun.

And now Mr Poundstone adds to his roster with PRICELESS – THE MYTH OF FAIR VALUE AND HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

Love Jingles – for all your custom jingle needs

Post author By web gangsta
Post date December 21, 2009

Remember Jason Sadler? He’s the guy who would WEAR YOUR SHIRT for one day and market whatever message is on the shirt that you provide. He’s been able to make a decent living at this, charging anywhere from $1 to $365 per day, depending on the day of the year that you have requested his services.

Jason has inspired Love Harnell with his tale of how to be a successful Internet entrepreneur, so Love sat down to figure out what HE could charge up to $365 per day to do.

And since Love Harnell has an unusual hobby, he decided to make that his Internet business.

Memo to Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and Papa John’s Pizza: Your Employees are Disgusting

Post author By web gangsta
Post date December 2, 2009

Dear Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Papa John’s… and all you mom-and-pop pizza places that are still out there:

Web Watch loves pizza.

We’ve eaten quite a few of your pizzas, and have usually enjoyed them. Large, 1-topping pizzas. Small deluxe pies. Extra thin crust, deep-dish. Meat lovers, vegetarian, supreme, barbeque chicken – we’ve had them all.

But there is a disturbing trend that we feel needs to be pointed out: your employees are gross. And gross employees lead to consistently gross pizza.

And it is because of this regular gross pizza experience, Web Watch has stopped ordering pizza from you for delivery.
