Looks like a 99'er and we're paying for it.

Actually, it is probably a former Fox News' fact checker.
We all know that job has been eliminated years ago.

fnkngrv · 12-05-2010, 01:17 PM

that guy had WAY too much time to not find a job. sure, it could be a creative way to get an employer to look at it in certain circles and say that they need someone with that much creativity, but still...yikes.

RedRide · 12-05-2010, 01:31 PM

Why is this thread about demonizing the unemplyed?

With over six people for every one avalible job...... do the freaken math!

DandiDani · 12-05-2010, 01:35 PM

I think that guy has talent thats for sure. i kept thinking when is this going to end? it went on forever it seemed. i hope he finds a job to put his skills to use

frownonfun · 12-05-2010, 02:59 PM

wow how did that elicit a "must be a 99er". lol.

another possibility could be it's the child of some billionaire who didn't have to pay any estate tax. but who the hell comes to that conclusion after watching the video!?

all i thought of when it was over was, damn wouldn't it have been a lot easier to have just walked over and opened those curtains?

RedRide · 12-05-2010, 04:13 PM

Haven't you guys ever heard of Rube Goldburg?

...

I don't want to make any assumptions about the creator of this, but it had to take months and countless hours. It's not something a kid would have done. A college student would never have the time or that type of free reign of a house. That leaves an unemployed adult. Again, not to pre-judge, but a reasonable guess is that it is indeed someone collecting unemployment when they are supposed to be actively pursuing a job. The "99er" comment referencing the current 99 weeks of unemployment extensions is just making a point.

Well, you are "pre juding.
You are also making the asinine assumption that if someone is unimployed they have to spend 24 hrs a day looking for a job.

Critcizing the unimployed is un Christian, un American and just plain nasty!

silver_echo · 12-06-2010, 03:31 AM

okay, that reminds me of the dog feeding machine from back to the future...

maybe a potential employer will see that and give him a job...

or he will just use 1.21 jigawatts and tell himself to protect his job...

Yeah maybe you're right. I think it's obama's fault. Pelosi is the devil! I hate the federal government. Where is my gun so i can go exercise my 2nd amendment rights on this lazy sack of ... whoa whoa whoa, sorry, my tea party Tourettes started to kick in there.

Where did all that come from?

My post wasn't even political. Just hypothesizing who would have the time to build such a useless project. They were reasonable assumptions. But who knows the situation? I just find it hard to believe someone was paid to do this in their home? Am I that crazy?

47_MasoN_47 · 12-06-2010, 12:18 PM

The dudes live in the UK anyway, lol.

Political diversion FAIL.

Anyway, that was an awesome Rube Goldberg machine.

Did I forget to mention that I'm half unemployed myself (I've been looking for a part time job to complete a full time schedule as I'm only working part time know)?

I spend half of each day searching for a job. I know how hard it is.

Kal-El · 12-06-2010, 12:22 PM

So what's the story behind this? Link doesn't work for me.
