I am the coolest person in the world

Forget the New York Times–here’s the site I’m bragging to all my friends about:

http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?p=953452 (probably NSFW = not safe for work)

Search that page (ctrl-f) for “iwillteach”

1 Alex Boutet February 5, 2007 at 8:39 am: Was it actually the goal of IWTYTBR? Getting yourself a fan club of stip-girls to escort you everywhere?

I shall try this nice trick!
2 Mike February 5, 2007 at 8:57 am: Is this safe for work Mr. Ramit?
3 Elena February 5, 2007 at 9:08 am: Well thanks so much–porn at work is a great idea.
4 Ramit Sethi February 5, 2007 at 9:15 am: Oops, sorry about that. I didn’t notice since I was just looking at the words, not the pictures. I updated the post to say NSFW.
5 Kate February 5, 2007 at 9:39 am: Ramit, it wasn’t so long ago that you said you wanted to increase your female readership. Is this what you had in mind?

When you’ve finished salivating like a schoolboy, can we please get back to the intelligent posts?
6 C4 February 5, 2007 at 9:40 am: There were words on that page?
7 S February 5, 2007 at 12:20 pm: Add my name to the list of people who are going to have to explain that URL at work someday.
8 jack February 5, 2007 at 12:46 pm: thanks for the link. will never open any blog post while on work. now i have to think about an excuse for why i visited this website when asked by my manager. thanks a lot!!
9 eR0CK February 5, 2007 at 1:08 pm: Are these silly readers serious? Explain a URL to their manager? Get back to intelligent posts? I’ll have to add my name to the list of people whom will have to explain this URL to my boss?

Geez, can’t Ramit have a sense of humor?

As far as the website link goes … I wouldn’t work for any company that’s proactive about what websites I visit … talk about a waste of company time and resources because of a single accidental click.

Good luck!

I thought it was pretty funny Ramit!

11 Sabrina Morgan February 5, 2007 at 3:01 pm: Congrats, Ramit!

One of the great things about StripperWeb is that it does have a subforum dedicated to personal finance questions. I’m pleased to see you catching on among sex workers.
12 S February 5, 2007 at 3:56 pm: Time for that “everybody needs a hug” addition to the comments, Ramit.
13 Carlin February 5, 2007 at 4:53 pm: Well, I wasn’t doing my job and reading blogs at work, but my manager doesn’t care as long as the site doesn’t have stripper (clue? hmmm) in the title.

Calm down.
14 Spencer February 5, 2007 at 5:26 pm: Ian, my thoughts exactly.

Everybody complaining about getting in trouble should be thanking Ramit. This is a perfect example of a blocking issue! Now that you’ve realized you will blindly do things suggested to you, you know how much can be avoided by doing the most basic research (checking the URL to see ‘stripper’ != work appropriate).

Say goodbye to all the poor financial decisions you used to make on a whim.
15 Wen February 5, 2007 at 6:40 pm: what i want to know is how did the stripper get to your site?
16 Alex Boutet February 6, 2007 at 6:17 am: @Wen: Probably the same was you did. Stripper girls have to manage money the same way an engeneer, a policemen or a McDonald’s cook. Everyone who has money could end up here.
17 Kent DeCesare February 6, 2007 at 9:58 am: Thanks for the link. Glad to see that you are expanding your target audience. Keep on keeping on, after all, strippers make money too….
18 davidjmedlock February 6, 2007 at 11:41 am: Ramit, if any of these girls ask you for a speaking engagement: 1) Make sure you tell them you accept checks and cash in bills larger than $1. Your bank teller might think you’ve picked up a side job when deposit $1000 in singles. 2) Take a camera. Otherwise, no one’s gonna believe you when you tell this story later.
19 J'zizzle Hizzel February 7, 2007 at 7:22 pm: I hope that lady keeps the receipt for a long time.
20 missiondebtfreedom February 8, 2007 at 8:04 pm: I’ve never wanted to join a forum so bad in my life!
21 Dustin February 8, 2007 at 9:20 pm: Ha

Thank you for that.
