New York - Craigslist Game

We came up with a new game yesterday: Trying to make a craigslist posting so disgusting no one will answer it. At first, the ground rules were no AIDS and no murder, but at this point, we have decided there are no ground rules. Just make an ad no one will answer. Our first couple tries were stuff like "I want you to cut out my appendix, force feed me the gauze, and let my dog lick the wounds." We were amateurs--that stuff draws 'em like flies to honey. Anyway, have a try at it. We thought we finally had it when we posted that we wanted to have someone sit in the room and watch us cry for 18 hours. We put that up half an hour ago and have gotten 23 replies and counting. No kidding. This is the latest:

"27 male here. 5'8, slim, black hair brown eyes… i recently finished my master's degree in the arts and moved to new york to pursue a career as an artist. (i was debating whether i should mention the fact that i went to an ivy league for my ma … if you're truly superficial you might like that, if you're mildly superficial you might not…kidding) my interests include classical poetry, early twentieth century german philosophy and post-war french theory. i tamed a wild snail in my backyard as a child once.

i will sit in a room for 18 hours. it's not about the number of hours. it's necessary. i know."

Give it a whirl, friends.
