Weirdest Ad of the Week!

This week’s weirdest ad is a real heartwarmer, just in time for the holidays!

It seems there’s a group of do-gooders out there that call themselves Los Buttermilk Gang, and they’re “here to teach you a thing or two about keeping it real.”

What does that mean, exactly? Well, apparently it means doing chores, organizing events, and counseling folks through hard times — all free of charge.

Services they proved, according to their amazing Craigslist ad:

  • kicking it old school by helping elderly cross streets
  • jammin’ in the park by teaching children how to ride bikes
  • smokin’ mad phonics, by helping kids get on track by increasing their reading levels
  • getting fresh with household cleaning services, (why pay a cleaning service when you can call us for free)
  • yard sale cleanups
  • yardwork
  • car washes
  • chaperoning field trips
  • interventions
  • anti suicide chats
  • rock’n'bowl league setup
  • clambakes

Are these folks for real? We’re hoping some reader in need of a clambake, intervention, or some “smokin’ mad phonics” will find out.
