"Online anonymity lets users gets nasty"


Congrats Yahoo.
Can you believe there are people who actually get paid to make up headlines like that?
I think I'm in the wrong industry...
Shoot, I'm gonna add these winners to my CV...

"Getting drunk may cause some to feel inebriated."
"Man cuts off own head. Dies."
"Hakwon owners and lack of ethics. Shocking new study."

Come on people, help me build me resume....
