Hilarious Classified Ads from Real Newspapers
According to Bill Belew at A Man Walks Into An Office here are a few classified ads that appeared in actual newspapers:
- FOR SALE: Antique desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large drawers.
- NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to have your ears pierced and get an extra pair to take home, too.
- GREAT DAMES for sale.
- TIRED OF CLEANING YOURSELF? Let me do it
Considering IGotNewsForYou is in the business of creating funny, mock news pages these stand out and make me laugh. The trick with IGotNewsForYou though is that the content is personalized. None of these classified ads have actual names in them, which is part of what makes IGotNewsForYou funny as a gift for someone.
Creating a quick page for a friend of mine (sorry Mathieu!) I took a screenshot of some classified ads that appear at the bottom. Mathieu loves playing Sudoku and has always dreamed of being a porn star. He also used to work at Concordia University in Montreal. With that in mind, the screenshot below makes more sense.
