Craigslister offers to scare people out of iPhone line

A San Francisco Craigslist posting is offering to supply "diversions" that will allow buyers to cut in line for the iPhone, and sadly, we're afraid he might not be joking.

"Why pay someone else big $$$ to wait in line if the only thing between you and the front of the line is a good diversion?" the post asks, claiming to come from a trademarked company called "Over Here, Jerks." "Our tactics are guaranteed to be safe, effective and even humorous!"

Photos accompanying the posting include a giant clown bicycle, a scary-looking bear, a two-headed snake and a piece of poop.

The advertisement goes on to stress that "services are not limited to lines! Want to kidnap your neighbor's obnoxious dog? Glue your boss' furniture to the ceiling? Enjoy our bulk discounts on tranquilizer darts and industrial-strength adhesives."

Looks like somebody watches The Office too much.

Craigslister does people a favour

Craislister is doing these peoplea big favour in scaring them out of a line to waste so much money on a device with no 3G, no user-replaceable battery, forced and expensive 2-year contract, ridiculous amount of memory for an iPod and exagerated price and that, on top of all that, renders your headphones useless (or makes you spend even more money, on top of what you already paid for the iPhone and will pay for the 2-year contract, to allow you to use them on the iPhone).
