YSAK *500*: Let's microwave a ball of tinfoil

Yes, 500 ads. Five hundred of the best and worst, funniest and most sad ads on Kijiji. It's an arbitrary number, but that's a lot of ... something. I'd like to extend my thanks to everyone who's visited over the past few years, and especially to the people who've sent me so many great Kijiji ads for the site.

To celebrate this occasion, I'll be running a giveaway contest. Check back on Monday for details on that!

For now, we turn to an ad posted by the kind of person you've probably encountered now and then on Kijiji: An idiot oblivious to basic knowledge. Would you think it prudent to microwave a ball of aluminum foil? Of course not? But what if you put it in a cotton bag? Sounds like a great idea!

Here's an ad that's not an ad. It's a warning, so it's not allowed anyway. Second, check the category: Buy & Sell > Hobbies & Crafts. Third, are you stupid?
