Trivia NYC/DSO Media

As a regular service, I like to provide the latest news items from the ever-growing world of crap in the news. This week, two items of, as Janis Joplin used to say, great social and political import:

• The economy hitting you hard? Are you a major multinational investment corporation with strong ties to the federal government? Then you won’t need BuyMyShitPile.com, a site where you can sell whatever crap you’ve had lying around your house to the government for whatever you happen to think (or, let’s face it, are willing to pretend) they’re actually worth:

  With our economy in crisis, the US Government is scrambling to rescue our banks by purchasing their “distressed assets”, i.e., assets that no one else wants to buy from them. We figured that instead of protesting this plan, we’d give regular Americans the same opportunity to sell their bad assets to the government. We need your help and you need the Government’s help!
