I hate Cha Cha.

Sorry, Ezra. Not everyone is cut out to answer questions like, "How can I get a girl to lactate?"

And yes, according to one of my many friends now signed up to be a Cha Cha Guide, that was an actual question.

Q: "Why does Alison Hallett hate Cha Cha so much?"

A: "I have no idea how that's possible? Cha Cha rocks! Poor Alison!"

Poor Alison, indeed.

I will now repost my deal-breaking Cha Cha experience:

While you got practical, if somewhat uninspired, advice to "how can I get a girlfriend?," my EXTREMELY HYPOTHETICAL query of "How can I get a boyfriend?" got the response:

"Instead of focusing on 'getting a boyfriend,' how about seeking out people whose company you enjoy? Be yourself and be confident!"

???!!!!

Cha Cha can suck it.

They only pay ten cents per answer, or so I understand. Seems like it wouldn't be a very fun job for that pay.

It's not a matter of the dimes, it's a matter of the pride.

Allison: Maybe you should ask how you can get TWO boyfriends?

I've been a ChaCha guide since yesterday (and, yes, someone really did ask me how to make a girl lactate) and I've quickly learned that it's a LOT more fun (and profitable!) to do at 3am when everyone is just drunk and/or lonely (myself included on both counts) than at 2pm when people need actual information that you have to, you know, search for.

My first ChaCha query, which sold me immediately: "Should I buy boxers or briefs?" "If you are trying to get someone pregnant go for the boxer, you'll need the room to breathe. If its just you & an active life, brief."

Needless to say, I stocked up on boxers. Watch out uteruses of the world, I'm makin' babies!

"You will need to find 2 boys you would like to date. You can do this by participating in social events & meeting new people."

Why is everyone so impressed with this?

10-20 cents per answer? And their website says that it works out to $3-9 per hour. Sounds like another virtual sweatshop to me.

Oh, but it's great fun being a ChaCha Guide if you enjoy answering the same questions about whether Michael Phelps or the Jonas Brothers have girlfriends over, and over, and over, and over again. And the late Saturday night "Why is Brett such a colossal douche bag?" queries are just comedy gold...or so the 13 year olds who send them seem to think.

It can be tedious, but overall it's good brainless fun with the laptop while I watch Tivo'd Daily Shows and make a few bucks.

Gee sounds like fun, but wait; to get "paid" you have to - complete a W-9 form so you can be paid -. Whether this is a legitimate site or not this is the latest variation of an Internet based ID theft scam. Get a "work at home" web-based "job", all you have to do is provide your SS#, name and address

how could you have possibly failed the test? did you use wikipedia as a source?
