It takes all kinds to make a web. With these guys, I would have to say we got all kinds. Remember SaveKaryn, the website where the lady collected dollar bills from all and sundry to get out of debt? Well, the idea caught on (unsurprisingly), and PimpingThePoor.com has set out to be the 'Consumer Reports of begging sites".

What the strip clubs aren't hiring? Oh yeah, they're the last to hire when hiring resumes.

Desperate amateur pornography of girls with vacant, despairing eyes makes me depressed.

Sadly, it works. Going to Karyn's current website, she has whole pages of links dedicated to other beggars out there, in categories like "Credit Card", "Medical Expenses", "School", and "Misc.". It's the modern day equivalent of pickle jars with pictures pasted to them and a little slot at the top.

And you don't even get the nice brine smell, either.

Well, I guess some people still think the internet represents 'free money'. That attitude's not just for investment bankers anymore...

Amazing. Only straight females beg on websites.
