Mocking homeless people seems cruel. Mocking people who shop at Walmart (People of Walmart) seems snobbish. But mocking people who can afford plane tickets, especially business travelers, is the Lord's work. My boss is one of those people. Every self-important, lying big shot is one of those people. Which is why I think FreakJet is kind of cool.
Basically you see some crazy person at the airport, snap a photo, and send it in. If you've got the app on your phone, even easier.
Here's what the guys who started the site have to say about it:
There isn't anything more boring than sitting around an airport waiting for your flight. The only thing an airport terminal is good for is high-quality people watching. There is no shortage of freaks to gawk at in the airport. While it's fun to tell your friends about the freaks you see in the airport, how much more entertaining would it be to share your freaks with the world (and see the freaks other people find in other airports)?
FreakJet.com is your hub for airport freakspotting. It was founded by four guys in a bar complaining about the drudgery of airline travel. FreakJet's purpose is to give you something to keep you entertained while you wait at your gate for a flight that is probably oversold and delayed. You'll get to see, vote on, and even upload the freakiest people you can find at airports.
Sure, peopleofwalmart.com is fun but when you’re done shopping you get to leave the store. Airports are different – sometimes you’re stuck there for hours on end with no prospect of getting out, nothing good to buy, and nothing to entertain you. FreakJet gives you a way to pass the time with some laughs either by seeing funny pics from other airports or capturing and uploading pics of your own.
A few freaks:
Hulk Hogan's Sister
Bath Towel Boy
Pippi Longstocking
TST
What's worse-- a girdle or spandex?
And my boss is traveling twice this week, so if anyone catches a photo of a self-important, lying sack of shit at LGA, JFK, ORD, or PHL this week, it's probably him. Send me the link. I'd love to see what you think my boss looks like.
NOTE: I have no financial interest in FreakJet. I just merely hope that if my photo gets uploaded to the site they will have the good sense to suppress it.
