Cookies??? Someone honestly wants us to write for cookies???
Honestly, that is just about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. And the most insulting.
*shakes head in disbelief*

June 28th, 2007 at 5:03 amEh, offering professional writers cookies would be insulting. Offering amateurs homemade cookies is just kind of creepy.
I am kind of annoyed by all the “ladies” though.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:03 amThat ad is SASSY with a capital S. Actually, it’s so SASSY that it warrants ALL CAPS.
Hey, ladies, it isn’t just a sassy dozen cookies (homemade, by the way). The offer also includes a retro ladies’ SASSY t-shirt. And don’t forget the stickers. Stickers. Who doesn’t LOVE stickers?
It’s all about SASSY fun for the retro-obsessed ladies at PussyCat!
RRRRoooooowwwwwwwr! (that’s supposed to be a cat sound).
Only one gripe–what about the SASSY ladies who don’t have a sweet tooth? Can they score a retro sandwich or an old-school can of Campbells soup or something?
What about diabetic SASSY gals?
Oh well, I’m on the wrong side of the gender fence anyway… Maybe they’ll spin off with a TomCat mag for men!

June 28th, 2007 at 5:04 amYou know what, it may be an insulting substitution for actual money, but at least they are upfront about their lame form of compensation.
I’d much rather see this than the furtive “Compensation TBD.” It’s frustrating to spend my time choosing clips and constructing a cover letter only to find out that compensation is in cookies or ad-share revenue or $2 for 1000 words.
So I do give them a few points for being upfront. Saves me from wasting my time replying.

June 28th, 2007 at 5:04 amOkay, apparently I was logged in. You’d think I’d have the swing of replying to blogs by now, but I seem to be very bumbling at it.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:04 amI’m a guy, and I’m actually offended for all you “Sassy ladies” out there.
Seems to me if you really wanted cookies, you could bake some in less time than it took you to write something.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:05 amI didn’t even bother clicking on their site. A lot of these scammers put up ads like this just to get better numbers on their website for better Alexa or Google rank placements. Every time someone clicks on their site to check it out, their numbers get better. Don’t support these idiots by falling for their ploy!
June 28th, 2007 at 5:05 amYou have got to be kidding!!!!!!Insulting enough, but add to it that and the fact they can’t even spell homemade*
*see title
June 28th, 2007 at 5:05 amMaybe they could send the cookies directly to my mortgage company. I’m sure they would rather have cookies than dollars this month!
June 28th, 2007 at 5:05 amDoes anyone know if Craig’s list does any kind of pre-screening adds?
That one was ridiculous. Satirical?
June 28th, 2007 at 5:06 amHm, will they PayPal me the cookies as an upfront retainer?
I’m getting my head-shakin’ Wednesday exercise …
June 28th, 2007 at 5:06 amMmmmmmm cooooookieeesssss. I loved the ones that are wrapped in hundred dollar bills.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:07 amI’m sure their cookies are as crappy as their website.
And they’re based out of Ohio too. As an Ohioan, I am ashamed.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:07 amWhat gets me about this ad, is that it would be cheaper to offer $5-10 through PayPal, than it is to offer t-shirts, grab bags, and cookies plus shipping. I’d rather take the $5 and buy my own cookies!
June 28th, 2007 at 5:07 amHow ridiculous. I’m sure my landlord will be thrilled when I take a dozen cookies over to M&T Bank and try to pay my rent with them!
The sad thing is, I bet they have had a few people send in resumes and clips because they think they need to work for “cookies” in order to get experience.
