It's a funny piece...but not good ad copy. A short humorous paragraph was plenty... the rest is the author's ego.

...And by the way, if you are the type of person who covers your bed with any amount of (especially more than two) decorative pillows, please do not call about my Boat. I am not interested in selling this to a decorative pillow type which is too bad because you my friend are the type that needs this boat more than anyone...

Now, that's funny!

And here I am staring at one of the many screens I find myself staring at during most my waking hours. Yeah, I need a change, but one boat's enough for me.

In my opinion, speaking from the standpoint of a BA in English Literature, decent concept (although it's been done before for a Jeep on Craigslist), but poor execution.

Stating one's supposed qualifications before giving one's opinion indicates a lack of confidence in that opinion. Just speak your mind. We can determine whether your view is valid or not. In this instance I would say not. Have a nice day.

Jeebus, Rick...

I challenge you to compare this: http://www.uproxx.com/webculture/2013/10/check-balls-texas-mans-craigslist-ad-jeep-wrangler/ to the poor execution of the boat ad in question, and not come to the same conclusion I have. Regardless of my "qualifications."

The fact is, the guy posting the boat ad needs a competent editor. Or perhaps he needs to go back to English Composition 101.
