Via CNET: Item Not As Described
Original link via CNET: Item Not As Described. All of the items are illustrated. It's worth paging through. Some of my favs below.
Item Not As Described - a blog that (tagline: Free is a Four-Letter Word) has dedicated itself to examining some of the free offers on Craigslist. Specifically, the site exists to expose the worst of the free in the Land of the Free.
A woman giving away Bibles. She obviously had been a Beanie Baby collector. The snark: putting a deposit down on a creek front retirement home in North Dakota, based on the dolls' worth.
We spoke to her: “Eventually, the deposit on the cabin was lost, and my faith went with it. Sure, bad things happen to good people, but when it gets this bad, well, what do you expect? If my green bear won’t even bring 50 cents at a yard sale, you’re not convincing me there’s a God.”
A DC area resident seemingly willing to fool their blind kid with a Lil Wayne impersonator at his birthday party.
Here is the kicker my son is blind so you don't need to look like the rapper just sound like him.
From Alaska, a half-eaten package of Martha Stewart's Pork Meatballs.
Free to a good home. I ate most of the first pack but they were too “porky” for my taste. They are frozen so they are still edible if not “porky”. Personally I think Martha could have done better.
An old couch (pictured) that has seen better days. Take a look and pick your own favorites, you might even furnish that spare room, or grab a "Bited" (sic) Bidet while you're at it.
The two people who used this couch - every day for years - clearly didn’t like each other much: note how far apart their respective head stains are. It’s too bad, really, because they obviously had a lot in common. If two people both love Jheri-Curl that much, shouldn’t they be able to get beyond their trivial differences? One to grow on, courtesy Item Not As Described.
