Default Man from Connecticut Tries to sell parents on Craigslist..

of course it is in jest... but nonetheless provides balance.

Conn. man advertises parents on Craigslist | turnto10.com

Quote:
MADISON, Conn.—A Connecticut man put his parents up for sale on Craigslist as a joke to pass the time on a rainy weekend.

Michael Amatrudo, a 51-year-old Madison resident and insurance executive, says in the ad that he’s gotten “lots of use out of these guys over the past 50 years, but it’s time to move on.“ He says he’ll take $155 or a trade for a younger set of parents, an Erector set or a “hot blonde.“

Amatrudo says he’s gotten dozens of responses from around the country, including inquiries about who would pay the shipping cost and how many days it would take to receive them.

He says his parents, Ed and Arlene Amatrudo of Noank, have a good sense of humor and took the ad in stride.

Glad people fount it funny...some of them on there are hilarious and clearly meant to be practical jokes meant to garner attention.

Craigslist needs to go. It's a cancer. Does far more harm than good. Don't worry, another site will takes its place .... but without the whore-house routine.

Came across this site on all my faves this AM..

Craiglook: Craigslist Search

Right now there are over 12,000,000+ active postings on Craigslist.. so the criminal behavior is miniscule, relatively speaking...

Good luck with THAT!!! In five years you'll be begging to get in; by then the lines will stretch around 77 city blocks, people camping out, singing songs, praying, playing bridge & chess. Jump in today and we'll get to you in a year or two.

How dare you link that...now Fog's head will explode with anger that his entire premise is shot to hell once again!

Really, are you on mind-altering drugs??? A "minuscule" amount of murder is still MURDER. Wake up.

If you want a good laugh, read the 'best of Craig's list" on the left side of their start page. Definitely NSFW.....

I wanted to get my mother appraised on Antique Roadshow, but she didn't like the idea.
