Today's offering is a website I found promising to make me "piles of money."
Actually, I made that last bit up, but it did offer to make me money by doing very little.
Naturally this was too good to be true so I jumped at the chance to figure out how I could have some fun with it.
Well first I'll break down how it works: -
The website is a collection of discussions, not unlike a forum...except with badly spelt topics and adverts everywhere...so exactly like a forum.
The idea is that you respond to topics and create your own "discussions" and in the process earn money.
So I signed up and input my interests as asked, and what a pile there were.
I was first asked to specify what "roles I play in life." A curious question, but I obliged.
It's immediately obvious that users input these options themselves, being as they are mispelled and repeated frequently. There is a benefit to this however. You see, I've discovered something and that is that the internet is full of lunatics...
...Lunatics who believe they're vampires, for example.
Now there's a role in life I like the sound of. Then it occurs to me. I shouldn't be putting in my real interests, not when there is such a variety of fun to be had with the crackpots that undoubtedly use this site.
Cue my alternate identity,
Seymour Stúf.
So I gave up on this folly and set up a new account...Firstly I refer myself so I can make that whole twelfth of a penny...or whatever it is.
Once done, I need to think of a nickname to go by. Obviously I can't use HearMeRoar. It's taken...and simply not "l33t" enough so I go with the ultra cool crazeedood916.
Obviously this name signifies that I am in fact "crazee," and a "dood." There's no way people wont like this guy.
Once that's taken care of, I get given the chance to invite my friends, which I skip.
Ahh, now the fun bit. I get to pick my interests.
So, who is Seymour Stúf?
Obviously he can't be too much like me.
So, he's a crazy, friendly Christian, as well as being and avid gamer and interested in Sisters.
He's an optimistic american from Canada who likes to flirt and describes himself as a "child of god..."whatever that is...which must make him the Messiah.
He's a motivator and a concerned human (being the Messiah and all). He is a self-confessed weirdo and philosopher.
He likes stay-at-home mothers (for some reason), sitting on babies and "encouraging others to be more open-minded in life." Yes, that's an interest.
He's keen on grandmothers, sexual partners and smoking. Whether they're all the same or seperate, I'll leave to future to decide. He hopes one day to be a bi-sexual witch.
He also describes himself as a dumb-blond and as a sexy, catholic, feminist, dorky, psychic, vampire laundry-maid.
He's also a "sewer.crocheter," whatever that is and he researches the paranormal on the side.
...Sounds like a lovely bloke.
This great effort was only step one of the site's helpful wizard. Now on to step two.
Products I use...
Well Seymour loves his make-up, shoes, scented candles and flip-flops and would be lost without ariel detergent.
Step three; hobbies.
Other than sleeping and writing (sometimes both at once), he can be found engaging in religion. He likes cuddling new people and helping others (apparently signified by a symbol depicting a dancing duckling).
He's a poet (almost as good as me, in fact) and likes free stuff, along with thunder storms and manga.
He likes "chillin," chilling being far too uncool for Seymour to engage in. He likes marijuana and vampires and "think about life."
Next step *groan* is "foods," which I rush through. After that is "pets." Incidentally, he has a pet tiger and a ferret.
After this is "Music."
Well he loves Justin Timberlake and Fallout Boy...No proper music for him, it's filth all the way!
The sections get less interesting at this point so I'll omit them, moving on to the meat and bones of the site...the discussions.
In this section of the website, the user is presented with several options including "Top discussions" and "Discussions based on interests."
Some clicking later and I'm presented with an array of topics apparently suited to things I'm interested in: -
discussions from my interests |

Clearly this is a selection of the internet's finest minds and I owe it to myself to learn more from these wise folk. So I decide to get involved in a really meaty and important discussion, a true challenge of one's beliefs, "who's more famous now? Rihanna or Beyonce?"
Of course, Seymour has no idea who these two people are so he's going to have to fake it. So he uses a collection of quotes about other people from wikipedia.
And so...

Now Seymour knows about Beyonce and stuff.
If you want to join in or hear more of Seymour's "opinions," please click here. You'll earn him a billionth of a penny in the process. ^_^
Have fun kids,
