Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

The Craigslist Curmudgeon certainly can't be reaping financial rewards for his efforts at exposing the myriad indignities suffered by professional writers on the vast online classifieds site. Still, we're hard-pressed to call his entertaining blog, which culls the most insulting help-wanted ads for writers, a labor of love. Maybe a labor of crankiness? The Curmudgeon's chief complaint: would-be content providers that offer wordsmiths no pay. More specific no-nos: ads offering piddling in-kind compensation, ads with dubious payment schemes, ads offering nothing but "exposure," and ads offering no pay for ridiculous assignments. The Curmudgeon reserves special scorn for those who request help in drafting term papers or other scholastic assignments (Curmudgeon translation: cheating). Hey Curmudgeon, ask us how much we're making; it might qualify for a post.
