Craig’s Dregs: Writing Doesn’t Pay

The list of low- or non-paying writing gigs on Craigslist continues to boggle the mind and rupture the spleen.
How about this one? Write fifty 500 word articles a week at $6 to $10 per!

If you enjoy writing and have experience and knowledge in any or all of the above mentioned topics, please […]

Craigs Dregs: Craigslist Hitman Ad Leads to Indictment

Michigan resident Ann Marie Linscott has been indicted for using Craigslist to find someone to murder the wife of the guy Linscott has been banging.
Much remains unknown in the murder-for-hire solicitation case:
Which category did Linscott place the ad in? It was presumably a gigs ad, but which kind of gigs?
Craigslist is obviously the wrong […]

Craig’s Dregs: Give Your Jokes to Some Dils

Is there no limit to what dils will try to get for free via the Craigslist writing gigs listings?
Here’s some waste of skin offering “exposure” in return for your jokes (note the lack of subject/verb agreement, a sure sign of amateurs):
You Got Jokes?
Are you funny? We want your “original” jokes or funny stories, […]

Craigs Dregs: Stanford Cheater Too Stupid for Film Crit Class

Here’s a fatuous dil who’s too moronic to write a 12-page paper for a film criticism class. So it’s cheatin’ time! And that means it’s time for Craigslist.
Quality must be good–the paper’s supposedly for a class at Stanford.
Must be nice to be born with a silver spoon in your ass so you […]

Craig’s Dregs: Creative Cheating

Just when you thought that the Craigslist writing gigs section couldn’t be any more pathetic of a jousting contest for dil-tards than it already is, here’s a guy who wants to pay somebody to do a five-page short story for him.
Typical loser–figured a creative writing class would be easy. Except for one thing–writing requires […]

Craig’s Dregs: Paid Film School Admissions Essays

This delightful L.A. Craigslist posting shows how the film business operates in all its grotesque involuted glory: some Beverly Hills dad wants to pay someone to help his kid with “ealry” admissions stuff.
Great. Take any rich punk born with a silver spoon in his ass and pay somebody to write up his admissions […]

Craig’s Dregs Special Edition: F*ck SparkNotes and Submit an Unorthodox Admissions Essay

As part of the climate of degeneracy surrounding college admissions and collateral means of paying to avoid demonstrating any actual achievement, SparkNotes has placed an ad on Craigslist asking to buy people’s admission essays.
It’s pathetic that people could be so soul-deprived as to actually purchase such chyme, but since it’s happening, maybe we should all […]

Night of the Living Paycheck: Craigslist Crematory Action

Let me preface this by reiterating my link to Guy Kawasaki’s post on how not to hire someone on Craigslist.
Guy’s post related to overwrought tech job postings, but this post does the same thing in a different field: cremating dead people:

Craigs Dregs: Plagiarizer of the Day

Here’s another loser who wants to buy a paper–and he/she’s picky too. Wants to know what school you went to. What a douche bag.
Wouldn’t if be funny if the person teaching the class replied and . . . .
Looking for someone to write a 5-6 page paper on documentary film for $50 […]

Craigslist Fantasy Writing Job: Shaggy Dog 2.0?

We’re not calling this a Craig’s Dregs item, but we probably should because it’s most likely a science project.
What happens when you put up an ad offering a $90,000 to $125,000 per year creative writing job?
You get one long, continuous stream of spew filling your in-box with one of the following:
A.) Pathetically funny “writting” […]
