6 Jobs You Won't Believe You Can Outsource
They say you can't make every problem go away just by throwing money at it. But by God, society is doing its best to make that a lie.
Wherever there is money and even the slightest demand for a service, there is someone out there willing to provide it, no matter how bizarre, pathetic or borderline illegal. That's why for the right amount of cash, you can get ...

If you want to experience what it's like to be famous for absolutely no reason, you can actually hire paparazzi to follow you around for an hour or two and harass you, because this is clearly the most appealing part of being famous. The company, Celeb 4 A Day, has branches in L.A., Austin, New York and San Francisco, and it can provide its services for birthdays, corporate events, or shits and giggles.

"My friends think tragically little of me!"
Basically, you schedule a time and place, and the company sends its photographers out to call out your name, barrage you with questions and take endless photos of you. It has packages starting at $500 for 30 minutes of irritation and going all the way up to a heroic $2,500 for two full hours. With that package, you also get a freaking bodyguard to protect you from the fake paparazzi, a publicist to field the fake questions for you, a goddamned limo, a fake gossip magazine with you on the cover and after the whole thing is over a DVD with a handful of the pictures that your pretend entourage took of your sad bastard ass.

This, right here, will cost you two and a half thousand dollars.
We'd like to point out that all you are managing to accomplish with this service is giving away a large amount of money to get shouted at. Though if you could write the paparazzi's questions beforehand, it might actually be worth $500 to have a group of people hound you in the parking lot of the mall demanding to know whether the rumors are true that you're actually the Batman.

Let's say you're showing up late for work because you spent last night drinking 17 beers and half a bottle of vodka and woke up in a hotel where you may or may not have had sex with someone in a donkey suit. You hope it's a suit, anyway. Normally, you would have to try to make up some excuse on your own ...

"Yeah, um ... my grandmother died."
... but backing up your massive whopper is not the easiest thing to do. You were sick? Where's your doctor's note? You were in a car crash? Why is your car in the parking lot with no damage? Well, fear not, because now you have the Alibi Network.
The Alibi Network bills itself as a "cutting edge full service discreet agency providing alibis and excuses for absences as well as assistance with a variety of sensitive issues." Essentially, it is a company that makes shit up for you and backs it up with convincing documentation and other necessary things to prove your alibi.

"That's right, Mr. and Mrs. Harris. Little Timmy needs to play at least four hours of video games every day until his dropsy improves."
It will come up with some crazy story like how you were actually going for a secret job interview, but on the way you were in a car crash and the hospital had to remove your kidney to save your life, and you're groggy from all the morphine -- and you will have all the documents from the "hospital" and "job interview" to prove it. It's as if Machiavelli ran a drive-thru.

You can even get the company to help you fool potential employers into believing that you have attended certain classes and seminars to boost your resume. The prices run $75 and up, depending on how much effort is required to back up your story, though apparently the price to help you cover up an affair is negotiable depending on the situation. Before you decide to go and murder someone, though, please note that the Alibi Network refuses to help when criminal activity is involved.

Sometimes you just have to end relationships, whether it be because you've grown apart from your boyfriend or because your girlfriend caught you masturbating to ThunderCats. That conversation, be it on the phone or face to face, is one of the most difficult things you will ever have to do.

Next to shooting Old Yeller.
But what if you are shy or scared or don't know what to say when the time comes? The company iDUMP4U has decided to capitalize on your pain (or happiness, depending on which side of the breakup you're on) by offering its services to dump your significant other. It charges $10 for a basic breakup, $25 to call off an engagement and $50 to announce a divorce, and it records the whole thing to play on its YouTube channel, because anything worth doing is worth doing for Internet fame.
On the application form, the company specifically states: "Remember, we are ASSHOLES ... we dump people for a living. So if you feed us fake information, or wrong info, and waste our time. We will make fun of you on the web. That is what we do ..." We'd like to take that threat seriously, but we're wondering just how effective making fun of someone's fake identity is going to be, since, you know, it's a fake identity. Imagine taking the time and resources to dedicate an entire YouTube clip to berating a client whose only known handle is "Captain Bonertopia."

ReplyThanks for making me sad forever.
The renting animals can actually be a good idea. When I went through a break-up, my cat then died and getting another one helped me deal with so much bad stuff. The new cat did NOT replace the old one at all, but not being alone was certainly helpful.
ReplyBut some people can't get cats because of their landlord, roommates, travel situation, and I think "renting" a cat, or other pet, can really cheer someone up for a day.
BRADMAN! Way to go, Bradley! LOL
ReplyGrunberg pimped him after seeing a random podcast from his home in Iowa, and I was following him on FB until shortly after he started iDump4U and moved to NYC to become a comedian. I know he was on one of the morning talk shows for this business, but didn't realize he was still doing it?
I recall he was proud of (one of?) his first gay dumps, where the dumpee was obviously at a club and most likely on something and barely had an idea of what was going on. freaking hilarious.
I might have to hire those fake paparzzi to follow someone I hate.
Reply#4 is totally "Dirt Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
ReplyFor most of my childhood, I thought that song was "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Cheese." I imagined that Bon Scott was some sort of rock-n-roll superhero named Dirty Deeds, and the guy with the deep voice at the end of the chorus was his partner, the Thunder Cheese. In my mind, they were anti-heroes - although that wasn't really a thing yet - and looked kind of like Power Man and the Kingpin. (For some reason, I was convinced Bon Scott was black.) Basically, they would go around harassing "the man" in various ways; Dirty Deeds would beat them up to make them listen, and then the Thunder Cheese would explain how his big corporate empire was going to put things right and make him a tonne of money. I was kind of not clear on the idea of "the man" at the time, either.
Our university campus has free cats on tap. They come into tests and sit beside you (or on you) purring to help you relax too.
ReplyWhat school???
#3 The San Diego immigration office is pretty busy and there's tons of Mexicans available to stand in line for you waiting for the office to open. Most productive ten bucks I've ever spent, a few times.
ReplyI would certainly hire a female paparzzy to interview me about me having a 14" penis
ReplyPresumably while standing within earshot of a bunch of girls
I was heartbroken that I was unable to find people to follow me around with horns and violins, playing epic music everywhere I go. The search continues...
ReplyA full orchestra playing the imperial march you go about your daily business, sounds good to me.
If it existed i would have to have a at least once.
Sorry its late.
They rent out people in China too. Westerners can actually get a job doing these acting gigs, although it becomes a problem if you do too many of them, because someone will eventually recognize you from a past gig.
ReplyFacejobs.... not nearly as erotic as they sound...
Is that a joint in #4? Drug abuse my ass
ReplyIts a joke
"Of all the men I've ever seen gut a terrorist with their bare hands, Mark grunted the least."
ReplyI want to date, sleep with, have a relationship, go through a rough patch but end up feeling stonger than ever before, get married, have kids, and die peacefully in the arms of this caption.
You know, in j*pan, you can hire a caption to do that with.
What in bloody hell happened to the car?I can't imagine how it would get stuck in there.
ReplyA passer-by became so enraged when someone triple-posted that they turned green, grew into Lou Ferrigno, and threw it at a duck that was flying south.

ReplyThe thing about them making fun of you on the internet... is that you have to pay the people before they can claim you've wasted their time, and I doubt they take cash.
ReplyThe idump4u channel is HILARIOUS
Replyi own cats, and have been around numerous cats in my life, and its pretty much impossible to find a cat that would let u pet it for 2 hours. i doubt those cafes really own up to anything they claim.
Reply Hide All See All 4 Repliesthose places probably smell like cat piss a mile away. and the only customers are the crazy ladies who had 29 cats and the police took them away, so this is their only way to be with mittens.
That is not true, i have worked at a shelter and some of the cats are more afraid of strangers than others but not all cats are the same, there are some that would walk right up to you and sit in your lap if you just sit there.
Also, unless you are one person taking care of 20 over cats in a small cramp house, or your cat is sick, or you don't know how to properly take care of a cat, it would not uaually smell of anything.
I once had a cat that would sit on your shoulder and massage your head. If he didn't get run over i could be making a fortune.
It all depends on how well socialized the cat is -- and, as Grapes said, on the personality of the individual cat. I have known some cats that are standoffish, and others that will walk up and say hi to strangers.
Really? impossible? Damn... then it must be worth some money to find one of the Millions of cats who like to be petted....
first of all, number one is called an escort service which isnt new at all, nor should it be anywhere near this list let alone number one.
Replybut seriously, are any of these places hiring? id f**king LOVE to work for idump4u, and i would sure as hell take 20 bucks an hour to stand in a line
A pound is almost 2 american dollars, so it would be 40 bucks an hour
Escort services are prostitution rings. I've seen 15-year-old girls who work for one chick I know, who just happens to also run a pornography website. The ES site is called Humaniplex and the owner's name is Anne Mulholland, in case you don't believe me.
There are Cat Cafes in China too. They're a bit different from the ones they're talking about here though...
