Be sure to read what it says under Compensation. It’s quite clever!
Williamsburg Author Seeks Hipster Intern
Reply to: job-290414943@craigslist.org
Date: 2007-03-08, 7:56AM ESTI am a middle-aged (OK, somewhat old) semifamous published author of books of fiction and nonfiction reviewed in the New York Times Book Review, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, etc. I am looking for a hipster intern (specifying that I want someone young would of course be a violation of equal opportunity laws) who will help me with editing, publicity, upkeep of MySpace, fielding queries from bloggers, etc. and giving me access to the lives of the type of local residents who look like Karen O. or Conor Oberst and who do cool things that will be subject matter for the kind of work today’s publishers demand.

Can this possibly be a REAL AD? Because how could the person who wrote this ad not have killed himself by now?
