Attention-seeking Kijiji user republishes old joke ad, claims it's real

Someone pointed me to this ad on Kijiji Moncton, New Brunswick. The ad poster says "Yes, this is true. I figured a bit of comedy couldn't hurt the situation. No, I will not post a picture of her......trust me.....you would wonder what I was thinking."

I call bullshit. Here's the recent ad that currently has more than 34-thousand views:

WELL-USED 1/2 BED!!!!!!!!!!! I’m moving and selling my side of the bed. Well-used, but some of that egg-carton foam would probably fix it right up. My brand new ex-wife still owns the other side of the bed, but don’t worry, she doesn’t seem to mind sharing it with complete strangers. BONUS: This bed is ALWAYS warm due to it never going more than a few hours without someone being in it! This comes in especially handy if you’re away working out west trying to make enough to cover the mortgage payments. NOTE: Apparently there’s been like 3 different guys that may be able to claim squatter’s rights on my side of the bed since they spent more time in it than I did. Not sure what the rules are on that. Send me an offer if you’re interested. Buyer Beware!

Ha ha, right? Well, compare this to an ad from two years ago, posted here at YouSuckatKijiji.com with the same picture and ad copy:

WELL-USED 1/2 BED!!!!!!!!!!! Address Toronto, ON, Canada ½ of a Bed: MAKE ME AN OFFER! I’m moving and selling my side of the bed. Well-used, but some of that egg-carton foam would probably fix it right up. My brand new ex-wife still owns the other side of the bed, but don’t worry, she doesn’t seem to mind sharing it with complete strangers. BONUS: This bed is ALWAYS warm due to it never going more than a few hours without someone being in it! This comes in especially handy if you’re away working out west trying to make enough to cover the mortgage payments. NOTE: Apparently there’s been like 3 different guys that may be able to claim squatter’s rights on my side of the bed since they spent more time in it than I did. Not sure what the rules are on that. Send me an offer if you’re interested. Buyer Beware!

So, to the guy who posted the ad in New Brunswick: You are a liar and a plagiarist. Screw you.
