Natasha at Pacific Views ran across an example of how desperate some job seekers have become:
She goes on to tell the DJ how much she needs this job, that it's such a good job, and that she's been unemployed for six months. She swears she's been clean. Then she starts begging him to change the results. She asks if he's married, and in the space of about a minute goes from offering lunch, to a night out for drinks, to saying she'll sleep with him.
Whoa.
That is one of the most cruelest things I've ever heard. We must be turning into an entire nation of people who enjoy pulling the wings off of insects.
Trickle down indeed.
