Idiot Craigslist posting - 09-18-2008, 11:56 PM


So we often make fun of the photography-related postings that go beyond odd on Craigslist. In light of those of you hit hard by Hurricane Ike, I post this as a bit of comic relief ... posted by an idiot! I'm really hoping this person was just kidding.

"Anyone want to go to galveston for hurricane????

so gas prices are going up because of the storm....so I thiink we should take whoevers car is more mileage friendly.
i have never seen a hurricane before and would really like to see the storm roll in. Ike should arrive sometime in the wee morning of Saturday so I would like to get down there before Friday night. Haven't researched it but I would assume that both sides of the highway are open and that there is no roadblock- also maybe we could find an sweet deal on a hotel room.
about me- 26 yr/old female smart and educated bothways"

Hhmm.. How I read this Ad:

"Smart, Educated, 26yr old single female. Loves adventure. Enjoys meeting new people. Doesn't care what you look like. Will get a hotel room."

Almost tempting.... lol

Who really gives CraigsList any serious consideration. What does educated smart both ways mean anyway?

Some young stud will read that and think "cool!" They need to listen to Groucho Marx as he said he'd never join a club that would have him as a member. Same message applies.
