I know this because I had a brief conversation with him in that year. He claimed to be a writer who worked from home and had trouble meeting people, and his username was \"icanspell,\" and I'd never done internet dating before and didn't know these were red flags. ANYWAY, this is totally weird for me, because this is the same picture he used in 2004, and the same one I saw from time to time on various other dating sites through the years, always with the name \"icanspell\" and always with this one picture, just the one. So. . .now I sort of think he's a fake person. <p>That's how this relates to consumerist.

If I'm unemployed, am I going to be thinking, \"Hey, let me stay out of the job market awhile to give everyone else a head start on me.\" I'm so sorry you're annoyed by the success of others. Fact is, even if I have a lot of money saved up, and to live comfortably, I'm not going to drain through my savings when I could be finding work, even at lower wages, so I don't burn through all my assets. If he takes a job, will it be one someone else could have had? Obviously. Maybe we should all hate him for taking away a job from some mysterious other people who were vying for the same job, because this guy doesn't \"need\" it. Oh wait, do you think maybe it's because all the other applicants weren't as qualified/marketable? Nah...</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(13004595, 'EinhornIsAMan!')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-13001546\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=4102\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-4102-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=4102\">Dave J.</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/jobless-guy-buys-facebook-ads-to-land-microsoft-gig.html#comment-13001546\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-21T23:31:13-05:00\">May 21, 2009 11:31 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(13001546);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=13001546');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12997020\" rel=\"nofollow\">rawsteak</a>: Seriously, I sort of figured he'd be an average-to-under-qualified guy who was hoping to capitalize on the publicity and \"hmm, interesting\" reactions to this idea to land himself a job, but it turns out he's actually quite qualified.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(13001546, 'Dave J.')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>    </div>","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12997679\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">Benjamin Donguk Lukoff    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/jobless-guy-buys-facebook-ads-to-land-microsoft-gig.html#comment-12997679\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-21T20:55:46-05:00\">May 21, 2009  8:55 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12997679);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12997679');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>I saw a similar ad by someone who wanted to work at Amazon.
