Uncyclopedia: Prosper
« on: December 30, 2007, 11:19:26 pm »

Lots of drama over the Wiki entry.

Maybe it won't be so contentious with the Uncyclopedia entry.

If no one cares to edit it, after seven days the entry will vanish.

I added a little something. Interesting entry. Maybe it should be linked to.

Classic comment from Urbi to a poster who said they were leaving:

"Once again, we note that your threats are hollow and you come across like a sad, lonely blowhard.

I doubt anyone here gives a shit about you.  We pretty much all know that you are a vile and unethical parasite of a human being with an abnormal craving for attention."

The entire thing is brilliant.

This particular offering made me fall out of my chair:

Quote
Corporate Culture: The Bud System
According to Piss Test Daily, Prosper Marketplace, Inc. is the only corporate entity in the United States whose entire workforce is eligible for--and receives--medical marijuana as part of its employee benefits package. Further, any new hire found to be bong-shy is sent to what one HR insider calls, the "RRC"--Reefer Readjustment Camp. And according to another talkative, dry-mouthed source, Prosper requires that all company stationary be composed of primo tokeable, hemp paper.

In other words, what legally binding document?

The page needs an introductory image, and this one might suffice were Jobs' head replaced. (I tried with the head of a logical candidate, but my photoshopping skills suck.)



It'd correspond well as a bookend with that Prosper Days' image.

ETA: A minor quibble with the PD image: To whoever uploaded it, you might want to trim the bottom of its frame to remove the reference to Jim Jones.

I thought that was an integral part of the joke? Witchel = Jones?

I'm not criticizing the image or the analogy. I think it's brilliant!

I just felt the words "Jim Jones" in the bottom of the image frame to be slightly superfluous. This is what I was referring to with my "minor quibble" comment--not that the entry was somehow insensitive or uncalled for. Most who view the image will catch the connection immediately without any need to mention JJ by name. Either way, it still works.

I excessively nitpicked on that one. No hard feelings.

Understand, it's an increasingly short list of people who know the name "Jim Jones" or the "Jonestown Massacre" on first contact.

I was but the tender age of 5 when it happened, and I wasn't aware it had happened until years later.

(ETA)

Fact is, many across the internet know what "Drinking the Kool-Aid" means, but few know why it means what it means. Quite a number I've spoken to personally think it has something to do with the Electric Kool-Aid experiment:o
