Disaster Struck! And Cragslist Was There (Part 2)

Americans opening spare rooms to evacuees


"Across the nation, people like Rainey are offering up their homes as temporary shelters to the storm's refugees. On the Web site craigslist.org, hundreds of people -- some from as far as Oregon and New Hampshire -- are eagerly offering free or extremely cheap room and board for victims, even knowing those strangers may stay for months."(CNN.com - 'Americans opening spare rooms to evacuees')

Temp Housing for Bi-Sub Female - mw4w - 40


"Professional white couple (40's) willing to help you get your life back together. You are welcome to stay as long as you need to. We have a nice home with pool. We will help you gain employment during your stay.

What we ask in exchange:

You must be white sub bi-female in relitively good shape & D/D free.
You pay utilities and 1/3 of food only.
Help around the house.
You will need to get transportation to here.

No pic, no responce.

this is in or around NH [New Hampshire]"

A day late, and you don't mention any of the interesting parts, CNN.com.

"The problem is that many of the victims can't see the listings. Most don't have computers or Internet access in the hotels, motels and emergency shelters where they've holed up across the South...

...Federal officials nonetheless applaud the efforts as a way for individual Americans to help in the wake of a disaster.

'That kind of system, individual to individual, is a great way to go,' said David Passey, a spokesman with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "There are a lot of great Americans out there."

...'A great way to go, if we didn't already have an awesome Federal Emergency Management Agency with a plan and access to resources that can totally, immediately handle this, right guys!? Let's get to work!

What's that? Oh, well, umm...

Well, fuck guys. What do we pay you for?

No, I don't need any dead Iraqis. I don't care how much you paid for them.

What could I possibly want a dead Iraqi for?'

"Are you a "working gal", that is, a professional, self-employed woman who deals in "intimate physical contact," who has been displaced by the hurricane? Are you STD free, and non-smoking, and friendly? Have you lost clothes and a place to stay? Perhaps we can help each other. I am a retired guy, 6' 1', 220 lbs and STD and drug and smoking free in Northern Virginia with a nice big, comfortable town house. If you are around 25, tall, well built and attractive, and need a place to stay for a couple of months to get yourself "together," you could stay with me, rent and cost-free! All I ask in return is some "intimate physical contact" occasionally." If you can respond to this posting, and do not have any money to get to Northern Virginia, I can help with that as well! Hope to hear from you and good luck.

Haha, I love the blogger vernacular they use to get past whatever filters might exist.

Yeah, I perused some of the craigslist ads yesterday and was pretty amazed to see some of the entries.
