From Craig's List:

Working at Maxim pulls a lot of weight on Craigslist. If Felix Dennis could feel anything, the following would make him proud:

From Craig's List:

...the Wall Street boys want it even rougher:

One executive at Craig's List is clearly not satisfied with leaving the classified revenue of the nation's beleaguered alt-weeklies in the dust: now he wants to burst free of the earth altogether.

It may not pay as much as a Levi's ad, but this Craig's List casting call has 'blogger' written all over it:

Oh felllllaaaas! Have we got a catch for you:

Just what TV needs: more shows about rich people pretending to work for a living. This casting call comes to us via Craigslist (where all extraordinarily wealthy New Yorkers go to buy used futons and find "cheep" apartment shares):

Despite our desperate efforts, the rakish masses are still clamoring for Wes Anderson's painfully precious Team Zissou Adidas as featured in The Life Aquatic. The latest report in this hipster tragedy comes from the far off land of Seattle, where one man — despite his self-awareness — gives in to the lemmings of temptation:

In a display of law-enforcement muscle, NYPD has arrested five suspects in the murder of (beautiful) Nicole DuFresne, who was shot during a botched robbery attempt early Friday morning. Officials are expected to comment during a press conference this afternoon, but police believe they have the gunman in custody.

Just in case you needed further proof that Williamsburg, the Brooklyn birthplace of the Ironic Trucker Hat and current epicenter (we suspect, anyhow) for the Team Zissou Adidas, is still a real place full of real people who might be in need of a real good smack, allow us to show you Exhibit A, the proposed Miss Williamsburg pageant:

· Fashion king (or queen) Mr. Blackwell releases his Worst-Dressed list. Nicolette Sheridan and Lindsay Lohan predictably come in first and second, respectively. [NBC4]
· We don't think Ed2010 is the best newsletter either, but ranting on Craigslist isn't going to solve anything. [Craigslist]
· Is the NineElevenster networking site an offensive satire of Friendster? Maybe. Is it serious? Most definitely not. [NineElevenster]
· Blog TVNewser scores an interview with CBS Senior VP for Standards Linda Mason. [TVNewser]
· Having a Korean Name But Not Being One Bit Asian: B- [BlackTable]
· After over 24 hours on his front page, Drudge finally removes the naked prisoner pyramid image. [Drudge]

We kind of love NYC tourists. After all, they all congregate in midtown and leave our neighborhood alone. But their presence does create some inconveniences and, while we kindly welcome slow-moving families from Kansas with open arms, we can't help but agree with a Craigslist poster who believes that there could be some improvements to the city's tourist system:

Is it just us, or has the Roc-A-Fella family been on a massive PR campaign as of late? Try as we might, we can't avoid Damon Dash and his army of successful hip-hoppers. To wit:

Apartment Therapy takes a poll on objectional words used in Craigslist postings. Voting is now open and no, you can't write in "blumpkin."

When we have an extra $14.5 million in real estate-ready cash burning a hole in our pocket, we immediately go to online bulletin board Craigslist—because obviously there's going to be something totally worthy of our dollars. Like something in, say, Williamsburg. Yeah, we hear that's a hot neighborhood and totally the sort of thing a Craigslist reader would be interested in! Tale of Two Cities writes:

601am's Aaron Bailey notes that Toronto Craig's List personals now include "SARS-free" as a requirement. I was going to use the word "asinine" but then I realized that the title of the ad is "convince me why I shouldn't order porn" and it seems like needless redundancy.

Gawker intern/Black Table contributor Lindsay Robertson has now accumulated a healthy group of stalkers at Craig's List, thanks to her weekly Craig's List roundup. The people impersonating her are the creepiest. Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay! Everyone wants to be Lindsay! Just as well, though. Lindsay may soon be giving up her Craig's List duties to pen an 800 word book proposal for a novel about a young gossip column intern who's consistently abused by her bossa bitchy editor from Alabama who demands that her martinis be mixed just so. Let the bidding war begin!
