HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I think Isaw that "How to Remove a Spleen from a Cat" title. I think it was in the "Automotive" category.

I am sick now from laughing. Ah, we never laugh so hard at humor as when it is based in shared experience.

That was GREAT! Thanks for posting it here. I actually don't mind DS that much. It is what it is. A few hours of work here and there pays a few bills each month. But there are some hilarious titles available. My favorite from a while back is "How to get a stool sample from your dog." I was really tempted to write a funny article but I didn't want to harm my all important rejection percentage or research score!

I don't write for DS but that is way to funny. There are other versions of the video like Hitler finds out Sarah Palin quiting.

I checked out of DS before even attempting to write for them when their guidelines were beyond insane in my opinion. Plus, the complete lack of title editing didn't give me too much confidence. I've been trying to convince a lifetime friend and fellow writer to switch to C-C since she vented about her article on How to Curl Your Hair was rejected with just this note from the editor: "Curling iron?" LOL

I sent her the Youtube link on Twitter (my new online addiction).

That is so funny. My only problem with it was that's the third time I've seen that same video used to spoof one situation or another. I wonder who started it. :)

That's very funny! I checked out demand studios looking for something a little more predictable in terms of consistent payment, but was so weirded out by their 'titles' available for writing -- some of those things are most definitely not a good idea/legal. Then I started reading reviews -- like people not getting paid, articles being rejected arbitrarily, rude editors, etc. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with CC, although a little guaranteed income would be heavenly! :P

Also, if that is the german film I'm thinking of, it's very good. I had a hard time watching it all in one sitting because it's quite long and intense, but it's definitely worth seeing if you don't mind reading subtitles. I believe it's called Downfall. Anyone know for sure?
