Someone give this man a job blogging for Beyond

[black13]

This, then, is the car for you. You show up at my house with your truck and trailer ready like a magnificent steed.
You give this rusty old Japanese piece of junk a hearty kick, and it rolls down the driveway onto your trailer. This makes you feel smug and manly.
You strap it down, and you drive it Navajo Scrap Metal. They pick it up and hand you a big wad of bills. You smile on the way out, and drive promptly to the liquor store, where you buy a two 40oz bottles of Olde English.
When you get home, you tape them to your hands, only to remove them when both bottles are empty. You pass out on your front porch smelling of vomit and cheap alcohol, drooling on your doormat, and you are content.
:rofl:

[kvanderlaag]

I thought maybe you guys would like to hear some of the replies I've gotten. Most of them are the standard, boring "Just call the kidney foundation, you loser," but this one really made me smile.

and
-the guys who think you're secretly being a bigot through for sale ads

:rofl:

Sheer brilliance.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

As soon as I saw the year of the celica, and the quality of writing, I knew it was you keegan.

[kvanderlaag]

Unfortunately, I am apparently a bigot.

And by 'a bigot', I mean 'white'.


Hello,

I think, perhaps, that you missed the entire point and purpose of the more candid portion of my ad. I'm particularly happy for you, though, in that you've found something on which to unleash so much anger. I am also sorry, then, for any inconvenience 'my people' seem to have caused you and your ancestors over...oh, let's say the last two thousand years or so. I do find it entertaining, however, that in a rather long-winded and wordy ad for something as mundane as a free car, you chose one bitter, sarcastic comparison to focus on, and in an extremely negative light. Since you give the vaguest impression of being well-spoken, though it is marred hideously by your extremely unimaginative cursing and racist slander, let me explain to you, as again you seem to have missed the mark, the purpose of my little tirade:

My hypothetical story, if you will, was told of and about an equally hypothetical likely candidate for the acquisition of this vehicle. I could provide a photographic depiction of the vehicle as it sits, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it would be lost on you. Personally, I don't see you as the type to be reading this advertisement for its intended purpose, but rather more for the purpose of the e-mail which you sent me in reply; in other words, to find an outlet through which to express your class-and-race-oriented rage. In any case, the vehicle in question looks less like something you would find an upstanding member of the 'white establishment' selling, and more like something you would find rotting away on a farm, or on the front lawn of an ignorant, uneducated, unemployed and decidedly lower-class white male, which makes it doubly funny that you should accuse me of falling into such a stereotype, as by the very ad you replied to, there is evidence to support that! Unfortunately, I must also politely state that you are incorrect in that assumption. That's all right, though. I'm willing to forgive you that. After all, us white people have been making similarly ignorant assumptions about you for centuries as well.

Now, being as my story was told about a hypothetical incarnation of this 'white trash' stereotype, and the ad itself seems to be catering in that respect TO this stereotype, does it not make sense, then, that I would attempt to explain the situation and further the development of this narration in terms that both apply and make sense to a potential reply to my advertisement? So while you may be, and in this case are, correct in stating that yes, it is a very western 'understanding' that we are 'infidels' to you 'Muzzies,' as you would like to be called, apparently, I must regrettably redirect your outrage at someone who perhaps holds those misdirected beliefs. Unfortunately, I am not one such person.

Being as the widespread offense of racial offense was not my intended purpose for this particular advertisement, I find it moderately amusing that in an unrelated context, the reciprocity of racial ignorance and bigoted hatred becomes clear. I, personally, have no issues with any member of my race - that is to say the human race, as there is only one - but apparently, you choose to divide humanity along different lines than I do, and some of those, (particularly the lines that surround your ideal of the 'white man') include unjustified prejudice and preconceived notions about all of us based on a less than significant portion.

Boy, I'll bet you feel foolish. But again, as I am a reasonable man, I forgive you. I hope that perhaps a vital lesson has been learned, and particularly the lesson whereby one should not take things out of context, and perhaps slow down to read into all possible meanings of a text before brazenly reacting to an emotion so base as anger, but also one of racial tolerance, and (God/Allah) forbid, politeness, even when protected by the wonderful guise of anonymity on the internet.

Sincerely,
Keegan

[97'Scort]

I'll second that nomination, Mr_ET. Glorious reply!

[Casa]

hahahhahahahahaha
good post good ad good writer
university English educated?

[Darkane]

[Tezzating]

I would have responded with "So you'll collect it Saturday then ?", but that reply made me lol too ;)

[ExtraSlow]

Fuck the white man, your disgusting blue jeans, your neck pustules . . . .

[BenC]

Seconded. I definitely would have egged him on.

[toastgremlin]

I would've maintained the normal text of the letter, but taunted him in the postscript. I can't believe the original ad isn't Best Of yet.

[Horatio]

what the hell is a neck pustule?

nervemind.....found it...
http://z.about.com/d/dermatology/1/0/N/4/pustulesmall.jpg

didn't realize we whiteys had such a problem with this on our necks. I learned something today!

[Masked Bandit]

I have to applaud your reply but I'm guessing it will be lost on the recipient.

[Kloubek]

Pustule. Pus-tule. Something that excreets pus.

This is pretty funny, I have to say. That's quite a response you got, but a better response you gave in return.

I suppose if you put up a peculiar ad like that, you can expect peculiar responses in kind.

[kvanderlaag]

No response from him so far. I'm a little disappointed.

Nonetheless, I've been getting lots of messages commending the humor value of my advertisement. I appreciate it!

Anyone with a car trailer want to commend me, while we're at it?

[skorpiius]

That's so funny, I was browsing old school celica ads last week and send the link to that ad to about 5 of my friends.. and here I come on Beyond for the first time in ages and the author is right here.

I'll pass though.

[Synne]

Well crafted.

Glad to see a sense of humour still exists.

[94boosted]

Awesome advertisement if I had a truck with a trailer I would pick the car up and drive it to the Salvage Yard myself just because it was so god dam funny :rofl:

And way to go to not step down to his level with your spectacular response.

[pyroza]

I lol'd at the Saudi prince part
