Wanted: Bear Cubs for My Children

the long version

Author and agitator Gary Fingercastle posted hundreds of mock advertisements on the popular website craigslist.org and received thousands of real-life responses. And because truth is stranger than fiction, he learned that: people will do anything for love (like jumping into a lion pen and dressing up like a Christmas tree); you can give anything away (like haunted furniture, torture racks, and mummies); you can purchase anything on the Internet (like bear cubs and tattoos for children); people will do anything for money (like driving into walls at high speeds and starving themselves for five weeks straight). This hilarious and oftentimes horrifying collection will makes you wonder — are we all insane?
