A former financial aid officer was arrested in Idaho this week after police say he solicited college students for sex through Craigslist, promising them grant money in return, The Spokesman-Review reports.

Looking to send her nerdy son off to Harvard in style, this helicopter parent to end all helicopter parents has taken to Craigslist's "casual encounters" section to seek a young woman who can help claim the "socially awkward" boy's virginity, and turn him into a "cool college kid."

Police in Idaho arrested a man last week after he allegedly posted a Craigslist ad asking random men to break into his home and rape his wife.

Troubled by reports that accused murderer Philip Markoff found his alleged prey through Craigslist, a do-gooder has called for a boycott of the classifieds site. 61 out of a hoped-for 500,000 have signed up.

Let's see, how could the evil anti-gay group that calls itself NOM (NOM NOM) and had its hilarious commercial audition clips leaked to YouTube become even more comical? They found a way!

Hah. He's 40 (40-year-old blogger! sad!), 5'11", and "went to one of those selective East Coast schools." Always important when looking for anonymous tail in a strange town! Guesses? We honestly don't even want to hazard one. (If Doree's list is representative, Craigslist Denver seems to be crawling with dudes looking to "pleasure" those hot lady Obama voters.)

Not that anybody here scans Craiglist's "casual encounters" at 10am—but thanks for the tip, College Callgirl! At 3:42 this morning, some lonely soul posted a m4w that he was "looking for a girl who reads Gawker... eh, I figure if we have that in common, we'd probably hit it off in the sack." Well, that's assuming a lot! Our female readers are not slutty, we're sure... "Preferably before the sun comes out," he adds. OK, which one of you posted this? [Craigslist]
