Hey,
I don't know why I think this is so funny: http://www.fuckedcompany.com/dorks.html
So today is a big day -- 5 new inductees into the FC hall-of-fame (which you will actually be able to see one of these days...) and a bunch more teetering on the edge of destruction.
Let me know if you want to advertise on the site or in this newsletter: pud at fuckedcompany.com
And without further ado, here are some of today's featured fucks:
Porn good, credit card fraud bad Net porn boy Seth Warshavsky and his company are being investigated for possible credit card fraud and tax evasion. Maybe this means I can contest the ClubLove.com charges on my credit card... Company: Internet Entertainment Group Points: 105
Looking for buyers Rumor has it that WorkingWeekly.com has fired most of their employees. Remain employees are being paid in extra computers -- one per week, take-home. Company: WorkingWeekly.com Points: 190
Another data storage site goes bye-bye A notice on the Internet Filezone site reads, "IMPORTANT NOTE TO EXISTING CUSTOMERS: Internet FileZone will be discontinued August 31, 2000" Yes, that does sound like an important notice. Company: i-filezone.com Points: 200 - new hall of fame inductee!
Some good pics on the page at least... ;) Rumor has it that online socks and pantyhose retailer Gazelle.com's office in San Francisco is closed. The windows have been frosted over, the blinds are drawn, and there's a big sign which says "NO SOLICITORS" on the front door. They probably needed a sign that reads "NO CUSTOMERS", too. Company: Gazelle.com Points: 196
More dot-com workers strike it rich! AnytimeAccess, Inc. just sold their company to DigitalInsight. What happened to all the stock options held by ATA employees for 3 years on the promise of an IPO? They're apparently getting a nickel (yes, a nickel) for each of those shares now after paying 3 cents a piece for them. A two cent profit after 3 years.... At least the founder/ceo made out great -- that's all that matters, right? Company: AnytimeAccess.com Points: 175
Honk if you just got laid off Rumor has it that HonkWorm.com just laid off 5 employees due to lack of sales. Company: HonkWorm.com Points: 170
rock on, pud
