Is this real or someone's idea of a joke?

Hi Guys,

I know there are some stupid CL post threads going already but I saw this tonight and I'm not sure if this is just some guy joking around or if he's really that delusional.

I think my favourite is the movie posters, like some ripped poster of transformers is worth more than the warmth it'll kick off burning in the winter!

At least that guy is offering something, in the hope, of netting a sucker. The folks that really "get me" are where folks, plain, and simple, beg, or they allow their kids to beg, or their wives. I'm not sure who the biggest looser is, the folks begging, or the folks responding to the beg. It must work, otherwise the time, and effort, wouldn't be spent begging.

Its got to be a joke.

Some people post things like that as a way of venting and to make fun of some of the ridiculous yet serious posts people make.

One of the posts lately around here that was very offensive was a free car that the person giving it away wanted to give it to a person "of darker skin color" man did that racist get attacked and flagged off CL fast.

I think I'll start saving my belly button lent and after a year or so I'll try trading it for a late model jap dual-sport.

I appreciate that he repaired the poster with "electrision" tape. A high quality repair, to be sure.

Its a little known fact that all the professional poster restorers use only the highest quality electrical tape.

Yes will he needed to do the proper repair because you know, he wants one of those good japanese bikes, that resell in the 3000 range, so just scotch tape wouldn't be sufficient.
