This one got my hopes up

One of the things I've enjoyed about CE from the very first day I discovered it is the wealth of entertainment it offers. People post these headlines to try to get my (or your) attention so that we'll click through and read the rest of the ad. I often click on headlines that are clearly not up my alley simply because I must know what the followup is. Sometimes, it's disappointing, like this one from San Francisco's CE board tonight:

Would love to slide my hand in your panties. - m4w

Any lady interested ?


With a headline like that, I was hoping for something kind of catchy and creative in the body! What a let-down.

This next one, on the other hand... it's priceless:

I like fuckin - m4w - 32

Im white and I like fuckin.


I'm putting that up on my refrigerator right now.

So you're saying it's a bad case of "all setup, no follow-through?" ;-)

Yes, exactly. I think good headlines should be followed by good ads! Is that so much to ask??

Hi ! Your site is very interesting. Thank you.
