Potemkin Capitalism "An ad agency laid off a bunch of its employees, but wanted to keep up appearances when a big client came to the office. So, they posted a listing for 'fake employees' to just sit at the desks and look busy. Pay: $15 an hour."
Odd Jobb Nation is still operational, though it looks to rely almost exclusively on Craigslist and Indeed.com for the listings, and they do away with any sorting those other sites provide, plus the jobs look pretty standard to me (Sales and Management Professionals, Merchandise Associates, etc). If you're looking for a broad overview of many jobs in a certain market, it could be useful, but it seems wiser to go directly to these other sites and cut down on your search time.
My favorite find of the moment: Drink Females / $4,000 each month (though I was imagining some sort of ad for vampires, the body of the ad clarifies they're looking for energy drink "Promo Girls")
