There Are Other Blogs Out There Too, You Know: Craigslisting
November 14, 2008 at 9:30 am
As much as we at Under the Button would love for you to spend all of your time surfing the awesome posts of this awesome blog, the blogosphere has so, so, so much to offer. Therefore, in the spirit of destroying everyone's productivity during the lull between midterms and finals, I would like to share a fun and interesting blog I stumbled upon a few days ago: Craigslisting.
In Craigslisting, Portland resident and self-described student, freelance writer, videographer, and comedian Adrian Chen navigates his way through the hilarious, bizarre, and wonderful world of Craigslist. Basically, Adrian and fellow guest writers find amusing posts on Craiglist and respond back with ridiculous proposals/inquiries/confessions. I've only had time to browse the first page, and I am already laughing hysterically as the writers pose as "an Assistant Director of Marketing for Happy'Uns Country Bakery" to request permission to use a cat for its new mascot, attempt to trade a 3 piece "bedroom set" for a Playstation 3, and confess their love to a "28 year old new Parisian" who "love[s] sex."
Just when I thought Craigslist was funny enough on its own.
Happy procrastinating!
