The Pets.com Sock Puppet Wants A Bailout

You already know this if you read our "Tech Bubble 1.0 Stars: Where Are They Now?," but the Pets.com sock puppet has actually been a part of two bubbles -- the turn-of-the-century tech bust as the Pets.com spokes-sock -- and later, as the mascot for a subprime lender called BarNone.

All of which goes to prove the old adage: If the sock-puppet fits, get the hell out of the industry before you lose your shirt.
