Rerun: I Love the Smell of Craigslist. It Smells Like... FAIL.
Got caught up in non-blog stuff. Back next week. Meanwhile please enjoy this post from September 2009.

Here's a new game - it's called "Spot the Inevitable FAIL".
Some examples:

I just wish I was there to see this train wreck progress.
I think the "something" he's going to "make happen" is suck.

The beauty of certain "creative people" is that the ones who have ideas not remotely worth stealing are usually the ones most paranoid about releasing their work and ideas.
Sadly, they also think that others who might want to be involved in projects really don't need to know any details before committing time to interviews/auditions etc.
Like this posting asking for actors:
Hey, awesome! Where do I sign up?! I mean, I can't wait to show up and find out if your script involves a no-budget film about aliens, vampires, zombies, the apocalypse or the struggles of a self-absorbed artist in the big city or a contemplative look at a relationship, based entirely on a relationship you once had, with nary a detail omitted.

This ad is bound to be legit:

We "record in my family home" - Congratulations, you've managed to make me queasy from the get-go. "Daddy, why is there a naked man in our kitchen?" "Go back to bed, Carly, Daddy's making a mo-vie."
I like that there's an essay part of the equation with the important questions: "What positions do you like to do a girl?" and "Have you done anything with the opposite sex that we should know about" and that the initial interview involves a jack-off of at least 10 minutes. Of course, these exist to see if the applicant is qualified for the position, not merely for the enjoyment of the "producer"...
Again, I'd do anything to get ahold of the answers to those questions.

And, finally, we have this ad:

Hold up. You want someone to do your laundry, housework etc. as well as service you sexually. Basically fulfill your every need and wait on you hand and foot.
And they pay you.
Can I stage an intervention with you and this guy? Better yet, would you please both enroll in a basic economics course - like the one they teach in 10th grade?!
