I discovered that I had the want ad from craigslist that I mentioned yesterday in my browser cache. It was a parody of a job ad. Having slogged through a lot of dreck on craigslist's job boards, I can understand the poster's frustration - I just wish I were as creative.
Since the ad has been pulled -- here it is:

Are you gullible? Do the words "specious", "spurious", or "ersatz" just roll through the empty spaces of your brain like a tumbleweed down a ghost town? If you are willing to give me your free work, here goes...
I are seeking writers to author at least 20 short reviews of businesses in their area. These reviews don't take long and can be done in a spare 10 minutes here and there.
It can be any city, any state, any business - even doctors, contracters, etc.
If this proves to be successful, I can later send you information on writing 40 reviews for $100. Not actually pay you, but send you information. That is $2.50 per review! Get on board now!
E-Mail me with "Writer for Insider Pages - $$" in the subject line to 'receive' the info and the link to get started.
Anyone is eligible for this gig. Students, stay-at-home moms, business men, anyone looking for some free coffee and an easy $100. Just believe in me and my kingdom of sprites, fairies, and elves!
No need to send resumes or anything fancy.
yes -- it's ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Compensation: I make money off of your time.
yes -- ok to transmit this posting into outer space
