condom company job qualifications

do you think being sexually active and using condoms is a fair expectation for condom companies to have about employees working in their marketing and customer service departments? it be interesting to see what kind of background checks these companies do on potential hires in order to get to that kind of info. it's not something you can ask directly, is it? maybe it's my immaturity level but I find it amusing thinking about the question 'what skills will you bring to the job' in a condom company interview. how do you answer it?

Unlimited taxi rides for flat monthly fee

The customer that gets in the taxi will show or swipe his/her card. The taxi companies can only operate fuel-efficient and environment-friendly cars and in return they will pay less taxes and be allowed to charge customers flat monthly fees. Fuel-efficiency will also be necessary in order to turn a profit as demand for the service will be high. With unlimited rides, people will tend to use taxis more.

For UK police dial 007 or 1-800-Superman (USA)

For psychological reasons why not change the universal emergency telephone number in every country to something more inspiring and reassuring taken from pop culture?

For the UK the number can be 007 and for the US something like 1-800-Superman. Imagine you are in an emergency in the UK and your friend asked you to call 007 for help! Wouldn't you pick up the phone right away to talk to 007? :) Give your suggestion for a 'cool' emergency phone number in your country :D

Online TV summary for busy people

There are so many shows I would love to watch but I don't have the time anymore. I would like to see an online service that would give me 30 minute or 1 hour video summaries of all my favorite shows and TV programs (national and cable), from comedy shows to reality to interviews and news. That would be a service I wouldn't mind paying a monthly fee for. Anyone interested in starting it?

TrickySignUp.com

The site sends a spam email with the following content: "Thank you for signing up on our site. If your personal info was stolen and it wasn't You who signed up then you must immediately Sign Out or Your credit card will be charged $100/month!" The un-suspicious user lands on the sign out page where he is asked to give his email address and password. Thinking he just saved himself $100/month he then presses the sign out button and he signs Up on the site where according to the terms of service that no one ever reads, the user understands that the purpose of the site is to trick people to sign up by signing out and that by clicking on the sign out button they willfully and permanently join the site with no option to ever sign out of it! :D:D:D

Don't ask me why we need such a site. I don't know. Some people may be too bored with their lives or there may be people who want to test how gullible they are. Or maybe the world is curious to know how many suckers don't read what they sign up for. I just gave out the idea, you come up with the reasons for or against it or click here to sign out of it :))

Profit margin on display

Do you think it would be fair game to require companies to label along with the price of a product the profit margin they make out of it? I wonder how such practice would alter shopping behavior and in turn pricing of products. For example, would you consider not buying a favorite product because you thought the profit margin the company makes is too high compared to what others make even though you have no problem with the price? By the same token, would you consider buying the most expensive product in the shelf if it had the lowest profit margin thinking the company is honest in reporting the true cost of making it?

after having complained a couple of times that service is terribly slow. Well, start making yourself to the exit without paying the bill, that should alert the staff and if it doesn't go home and let them foot the bill :)

Talking about horny thoughts! What about a website service where people from all over the world upload a message that would be heard when a taxi driver in China or India or any country in the world presses his or her car horn to warn a pedestrian. Car drivers will be able to download it via their mobile phones or via wireless internet and use it as car horn. It can be a ring tone or a person's voice with a message in your own language or in a foreign language.

If you upload your own message, you will be notified by the website service daily as to how many times and in which countries your voice was heard. The people that used your voice to replace their usual car horn sound will be able to give you feedback online as to the reaction people had when they heard it. Wouldn't it be fun? What do you think?
