I got this via a contact on LinkedIn:

Company: Wowkast
Job Title: Front & Back-End Web Developers - Consumer Web Startup
Description: Wowkast is seeking talented individuals with a range of front and back end expertise. We are on the hunt for developers that view software development as a craft as much as it is a science. [...]

About Us:
Wowkast is building a new multimedia-empowered way to communicate.

Assuming they needed a sysadmin, we'd have to start salary negotiations at US$150k just to get past the embarrassment of working for a company called Wowkast.  Holy shit what a wretched turd of a name that is.  And, sweet fucking jesus, "a new multimedia-empowered way to communicate"?  It's official: the Bubble is back.  We're fucking doomed.

Maybe that's the new thing: increasingly stupid startup company names?

"I just started at Wowkast."
"That's nothing! I'm starting at DickShout next week."
"I had to turn down the offer from NoodleBoyToy."
"I can top you all - DogBalls is making me wait for a background check."

Yeah, I worked for Dogballs until Stained Pork gave me an offer I couldn't refuse.

By the way, I've been meaning to ask -- did anything come of that feeler you got from Fetid Wank Storm?

Well, it was just a lead-in to another job through Holy Cow Now, but I was tired of supporting their capitalist ways.
