This Craiglist ad has been just killing us today. Emphasis ours.
My son is turning 16 and really wanted Lil Wayne to perform for his birthday gala. Unfortunately his schedule will not permit him to make it. I need a Lil Wayne impersonator desperately.Hopefully all of the sighted attendees of this birthday party can stop themselves from laughing during the Fake Lil' Wayne performance long enough to fool this kid.
Here is the kicker my son is blind so you do not need to look like the rapper just sound like him. I understand he grunts and mumbles a lot. I don’t care if you are 67 and Jewish if you can sing the songs you’re hired. Money is not an issue. Name your price. Interested individuals please let me know your rap experience, video of you performing as Lil Wayne would be better. If that is not feasible we can arrange for a live audition.
Serious inquiries only, this is very important to my family. Young Money Baby!

Who's that in the photo? Lil' Captain Wayne Sparrow? Arrrrrrr!
I'd offer my services, but I'm booked straight through til Passover. That's what you get for hiring the goyim for an agent.
I'd do it, but there ain't nut'n "Lil'" 'bout me. If you get my drift.
He's not kidding. I am so sore today.
I'm torn between finding this hilarious and incredibly sad. I don't envy the kid the day when he realizes what a douche one (both?) of his parents is. Although seeing as how it's a "birthday gala" maybe a fake Lil' Wayne is an appropriate form of entertainment.
All I know is: I want to go to this party.
I can think of no better way of getting the kid accustomed to a future where everyone steals pencils out of his tin cup rather than pay five cents.
Hello, best of Craigslist.
i keep imagining myself singing "make it rain" and throwing monopoly money at the blind kid. i'm going to hell.
Great news! I just got hired to do my mime show for this kid!
This gig has Deep written alllll over it.
Surely, you jest. Mount Pleasant CHUD Bud claims he's gonna go though.

I'm pretty certain that Crown Prince Bandar posted this.
It would be kinda funny if a record company exec showed up to perform.
I call hoax, put-on, or some sort of attempt to recruit patsies for a filmed stunt.
