Frequently Asked Questions

What is FreakJet.com?

FreakJet.com is a website where you can take pictures of freaks, weirdos, and otherwise strange people you see in airports and upload them for the rest of the world to see. You can build your own plane full of freaks on your own profile, vote on how freaky other submitted freaks are, and generally be entertained while you're waiting for your flight at the gate. If you visit often enough and submit enough freaks, you can earn Freakquent Flier miles (see below) that earn you status and enable you to become the Captain of your favorite airports.

Is my picture right for FreakJet.com?

If you saw the person in or around an airport and you think they're freaky enough, go ahead and submit them. Odd clothes, weird hair, or otherwise strange behavior is perfect submission material. Note - don't submit pictures of kids, mentally or physically challenged people, or otherwise hateful content. We won't publish it and you'll go to Hell for thinking it was funny. Don't submit porn either. There's enough of that on the internet already.

What about titles and captions? Can I submit my own?

Please do! Try to give your freak a funny name or capture the moment with a great title. Share some additional details in the caption (smells, sounds, quotes, etc.). Again, no profanity or hate speech. We won't accept it.

Why is the title or caption on my photo different than the one I submitted?

Because yours wasn't funny, made no sense, or was flat-out stupid. This site is about entertainment. If we didn't laugh at your caption, we changed it. If our caption isn't funny either, deal with it. We're the air traffic control tower and NOBODY argues with the tower.

Should I tag my freak?

Absolutely! Definitely tag which airport you spotted your freak in! It helps us build airport freak profiles and helps you earn status toward becoming the Captain of that airport (see below). Also tag your freak's relevant attributes. We've tried to add as many tags as we can think of that you can choose from. If you have other tags you would like us to add, send your suggestions to info@freakjet.com.

Why isn't my freak up on the site yet?

Relax! We have to review the freaks to ensure they're not hateful, pornographic, or otherwise in violation of our terms of service. After that we have to make sure they're actually funny. Once they've gotten through our version of the TSA screening process, they'll be up on the site as fast as we can upload them.

How do I vote for a freak? What if I think a freak is bad (totally unfunny)?

See those five little airplane icons next to the freak? If a freak is high quality, give it five airplanes. If it's average, give it three. If it's lame, give it one. If it totally sucks, choose the "No fly list" icon. If a freak gets enough "No fly list" votes it gets removed from the FreakJet airport and sent to Guantanamo Bay. Yes, we're kidding. Wow. You guys will buy anything we say, won't you?

Um, someone took my picture and posted it on FreakJet. How do I get it removed?

If your photo somehow ended up on our site and you would like it removed, no problem. Just email us at info@freakjet.com and include the URL of the photo. We'll take it down as soon as we can.

How do I earn Freakquent Flier miles?

You earn Freakquent Flier miles two ways. First, you get miles for every freak you upload (that passes our security screeners, of course). Second, you get miles for the votes you get from other FreakJet fliers. The better your freak and the more votes it gets, the more miles you earn. Obviously if you tell a bunch of your friends to sign up at FreakJet and vote for your freaks, you can earn a ton of Freakquent Flier miles. Pretty soon we'll be rolling out our bonus miles programs so keep an eye out for them.

What can I use my Freakquent Flier miles for?

Right now, your miles count toward status as the Captain or Deputy Captain of an airport (see below). Those miles also determine your freak's rank on the leader board as well as your rank in the system. Soon you'll be able to use your miles to get awesome FreakJet perks. Stay tuned for announcements about those opportunities!

How do I become the Captain of an airport?

Airport Captain is a prestigious position! You earn your Captain's wings by having the most Freakquent Flier miles for a particular airport. So, for example, if you submit the most freaks for Chicago O'Hare airport and those O'Hare freaks have the highest Freakquent Flier mile total of all FreakJet users, you are the Captain of O'Hare airport. That doesn't mean you can rest easy! If another FreakJet user submits more and better O'Hare freaks than you, they can take over your job as Captain. To see who your competition is, just check out the Deputy Captains listed for your particular airport. If you're a really Freakquent Flier and travel to multiple airports, you can be the Captain of all of them if you have the highest Freakquent Flier mile totals. But remember, your LAX freaks don't count toward your O'Hare Freakquent Flier miles (just your total miles) and vice versa. For the purposes of determining the Captain of an airport, only freaks submitted for that airport count toward your mileage total.

How do I get my freak on the leader board?

Easy! Take a picture of an awesome freak, give it a great title and caption, and get all your friends to vote for it. The leader board is dynamic and changes every day so as new freaks are added to the site, they can make the leader board. Don't bother trying to jam the ballot box with bogus votes. Our system won't let you and if we catch you trying to do it, you'll be reported to TSA and we'll recommend a full body cavity search. Not really. We'll just zero out your Freakquent Flier miles. Yes. Seriously.

How do you guys live with yourselves when you make fun of people in airports? Get a real job.

The way we see it, the freaks have mirrors and they chose to come out in public looking like wackadoos. If they're willing to let everyone in LAX and ORD see them, they really shouldn't mind if the rest of the world sees them too. Get over it you sanctimonious ass. Learn to laugh a little.
