What would you do for money?

Have you ever been asked the question, "What would you do for money?" Well for Travis Broyles, an unemployed copywriter from Atlanta, decided to place a Craigslist ad detailing exactly what he would do for money. Yesterday, Broyles placed this ad titled "I do Anything" on the site. Not only does he state that he will do anything and everything for money (with a few exceptions), but he also gives suggestions of certain things he will do and at what price points.

I had full intentions of linking the ad to this post, but unfortunately, Craigslist apparently has already taken down this ad from their site. I am not exactly sure why, but it is no longer on the site. Luckily, AgencySpy posted the ad in its entirety on their site. However, if you would rather read the ad here at the Unemployed Ad Man blog, I have included it after the jump:

My name is Travis Broyles and I will do whatever* you want me to do for less money than whoever you are paying to do it now.

*Prices and tasks are subject to negotiation. I will not murder or steal or perform a legendary murdersteal. No rapes, and the sex has to be unrelated to the payment, like “Oh, after you’re done cutting those trees down, do you want some lemonade?” but the lemonade means sex, mostly.
