Sex / Teh Internets A Man!

Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 4:24 PM

c13b/1247256935-joshysac.png You Suck at Craigslist is always funny, but this post is the pinnacle (or the nadir) of bad Craigslist personal ads:

my name is josh i just got kicked out of my house me and the old lady just split up i have noware to go and to top that off i am on house arrest 4 child support so all i need is a home phone that house arrest people can call and make shure that i am there.i also need 70 a week to keep up on my child support .i put the ball in your court.i am easy to git along with and love children.so please some body out there you can keep me out of jail and at the very least you would have made a good friend...

I wonder if I went to high school with this guy. Much more, including Josh's awful nickname and an even-more desperate second posting, at You Suck at Craigslist.

Hey, here's a guy whose life has gone to hell, and it's his own fault. And now he's desperately begging strangers for help. Also, he is functionally illiterate.

Hilarious!

Don't pick on my poor, pathetic godson.

And once again, thanks to Mr. Constant, another two hours of my life have been sucked away.

The worst part is, this loser will probably be flooded with responses from well-meaning, but otherwise clueless women who probably think he'd be a perfect match, since there's so much opportunity for improvement.

Seriously, where else can this guy go but up?

hey, charles manson, the son of sam killer, ted bundy, all these people got fan letters from jail. if nothing else, if he fucks up here too he'll still have a functional love life.

Except for the frantic nature, I thought at first this was a mudede post. Oops.

Jail, where he probably belongs?

"You Suck at Craigslist is always funny"

No. Having just browsed the site, I can say with some authority that that is not true. The cited post is funny, but not much else.

But now I am calibrated on Paul Constant's sense of comedy. I will wait for him to say something is "screamingly" funny, or "pee your pants" funny, knowing I will at least get a chuckle out of it.
