Craigslist Proves Irony Isn't Dead

Though we prefer trolling the Missed Connections, sometimes Craigslist is useful for other things (ninjas and replacing the silverware you stole from Commons and  accidentally threw away, mostly). And sometimes it's just super creepy (see next paragraph).

Here's one thing you can raise your rape whistle to: three guys in West Philly were caught posting fake ads in the For Sale section of Craigslist, luring in potential buyers and, once properly lured, robbing them (oh okay wswydt).

Sure, this isn't what we'd call fair trading, but every anonymized website needs its 15 counts of post-ironic fame. And now that Craigslist has its out of the way, you can get back to replacing your roommate (and the couch she peed on)!
