Male Assange supporter seeks female companion for protest

Looks totes legit, ladies! What could be more romantic than spending a night on the pavement with a man who shares your desire to protest those pesky sexual assault laws (or a conspiracy against Wikileaks — your pick).

We met at Byrne's Pub on St. Patrick's Day. You are a redhead that was wearing a white full length dress. I was in a white tshirt and black Utilikilt. We were both pretty drunk and hit it off immediately. You came back to my place with me around 6. I didn't have any condoms, but you didn't care. We had a great time before your friends called looking for you and we went back to the bar. You left shortly thereafter and we never traded numbers.
You gave me herpes. I hope you're proud of yourself.

The thing is, I have seriously considered trying to pitch a similar idea to clients, but they don't tend to like to intentionally break terms of use.

Woman seeks metal babydaddy on Craigslist #FdAdFriday

This is either pathetic or hilarious. Personally, I think it's fake. But it's Friday, so your mileage may vary.


FUSE reports that this post (since flagged for removal) recently appeared on Chicago Craigslist:

Did we hook up at the Megadeth/Motorhead concert? - w4m - 28 (Aragon Ballroom)
Me: Blue hair, silver tube top, fishnets, Knee high black biker boots.You: Red mohawk, black pentagram gauges, viper piercings.
I was grinding on you in the pit, then we went to the bathroom, and got f***ed up. You had a nice c**k and I was wasted so I let [you] raw dog it in the stall. You were really good and you had to gag me so I would make too much noise. 
Anyway I'm pregnant. It's yours. contact me if you want to be part of your child's life.

FUSE does not disclose whether the words "fucked" and "cock" were censored in the original post, or if they wussed out.

Anyway, c9kpp-2948959310@pers.craigslist.org, if you are in fact real I wish you and your metal baby all the best whether red mohawk boy re-enters the picture or not.

My name is Travis Broyles and I will do whatever* you want me to do for less money than whoever you are paying to do it now.

Below is a list of just some of the things I can do. I do want to stress that I DO ANYTHING so email me if your requested service is not listed here.

Things I Will Do For $5:
Stare at you for 5 minutes
Give a hug to the person of your choosing
Call you on the phone and seem genuinely interested for 10 minutes

Sing your new theme song on your voicemail
Spin until I throw up or you lose interest
Rename your Pokémon
Host a conference call with you and a person that you've always thought was cool but never really got the chance to hang out with, you know?
12 minutes of copywriting

Things I Will Do For $50:
Break-up with your boyfriend or girlfriend
Help you quit smoking (I'll call you every day for a month and yell "HEY DON'T SMOKE")
Tell the person you like that you think they're cute and what if you had sex together?
Try my best to fly in a public place for an hour
Make you a really great profile picture

Screen all your phone calls for five years
Recreate the best day of your life (or worst, whatevs)
84 straight days of copywriting *BEST VALUE*

If interested, email me at travisdoesanything@gmail.com.

*Prices and tasks are subject to negotiation. I will not murder or steal or perform a legendary murdersteal. No rapes, and the sex has to be unrelated to the payment, like "Oh, after you're done cutting those trees down, do you want some lemonade?" but the lemonade means sex, mostly.

Young creatives are known for pulling stunts like this to get noticed. This one is pretty good, because he kept it clever and (mostly) clean, despite being on a free-for-all medium. The flippant (and unnecessary) addition of "no rapes" rubbed me the wrong way, though.

Not sure I'd be willing to hire Travis for six figures — and nine months of paid vacation — for this, but still a nice effort.
