Oh. My. God. Just when you thought people couldn't get any stranger.. maybe the best personal advert of all time, this side of the time-traveller guy.. This guy advertising on Craigslist is not gay, but looking for a jack off buddy!

In other news, I got to witness some smack down on a mail-fraud ring today and I was the crusader of all that is good and holy in the world. Woot!

I tell you what though, these fuckers are getting SLICK. I received a letter of some-such basis, something about a government grant program for home improvement / equity relief or something.. whatever. It came along with a check for $4,000 that passed every measurable standard I could come up with. On a whim, I even took it down to a branch of Wells Fargo to have them look at it (the indicated bank of origin) and THEY were ready to cash it because there were no qualifiers on the check like "not valid as a financial instrument" or whatever.. it was just... a check. Even though it said I needed to call some phone number to pre-approve the process or whatever on the letter.. a check is a check and it was a valid account with money in it, even. Come to find out, it's a check written on a legitimate account but through identity theft. Plus, with it being sent through the mail, that constitutes a federal offense. When the people at the fraud center in the bank called these people to feel them out, the WTF PWN stick came out and the hapless idiot on the other end of the phone was shitting his pants. LOL. It was pure awesome. I don't think the guy knew he was 'employed' by a scam artist firm. Anyway, thought it was worth sharing. My good deed for the day.


Also: Playing the Wii topless is NSFW, but awesome.
