A sock puppet's triumphant return
The Pets.com sock puppet has returned just in time to poke fun at the government's proposed bail out of the Detroit automakers. The folks at reason.tv have put together a funny spoof using the iconic symbol of the dot com boom.
"Why are you talking about bailing out the auto companies when you let all of us tech companies just crash and burn?" asks the sock puppet. “I mean, I lost everything. I had to sleep on Jerry Yang’s couch for five years.”
Hat tip to VentureBeat's Eric Eldon, who writes "let’s give thanks for all the companies that didn’t get bailed out when the dot-com bubble crashed."
