Obvious scam? Well-written with the tongue firmly planted in the cheek? ‘I can’t believe someone is actually trying to sell that!’? Post some ads that tickle you in some way.
Here’s one I found. It’s not ‘hilarious’ in the traditional manner, but I found it amusing simply because the subject matter is what interests me.
AIRPLANE IS NEW
MY AIRPLANE FOR SALE
PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE FOR INFORMATION
Oh, and the seller and airplane are in Turkey.
What makes it funny (to me) is that the NEW airplane in question is half-a-century old, a 1960-1962 model, and the total lack of information. It looks like a scam. Maybe the guy has poor language skills, or maybe he’s just clueless. But it has ‘scam’ written all over it.
I like the Craiglist type ads that admonish other people’s ads, like ads saying that Joe Schmoe is a crooked contractor and won’t show up or pay you for working, or telling people to quit mis-catergorizing their ads.
A kid looking for someone to do his homework for him? Aiyiyiyiyi… :rolleyes: Not knowing how to spell where you live? Fail.
The last one? It’s not that easy finding an actress who will appear nude up here. As a sometime-filmmaker, I’ve shot nudity and on the last project we had to get an actress from Seattle for one scene. The actress for the other nude scene was local, but she had a jealous heroin-addict boyfriend who caused problems. I can feel for the guy (though his fairy project for the military sounds pretty funny). He doth protest too much. In L.A. the usual format is: ACTRESS WANTED. [Age range], [race, if applicable], [role description], nudity required, [compensation]
(EDIT: As it happens, I have a role that requires nudity for a female corpse. But before I get to that I need a crew, the rest of the actors, locations, and time to shoot the film.)
There’s a page out there somewhere full of pictures from eBay ads where people were selling something reflective and took a picture of the item while naked.
