Help a girl out?

Offered without comment (if I can hold out against the urge to do so), this classified ad from Craigslist:

I know this is a long shot, but it's worth a try. This month I attained my B.S. degreee in journalism with a minor in marketing. I hope to one day soon be a leading broadcast journalist, but feel that my small chest is holding me back.

I am seeking understanding, kind-hearted people who are willing to invest in my A-cup breasts and help me finance a breast augmentation surgery and advance my career in broadcast journalism.

The surgery will cost $3,000 and get me up to a full C-cup. I believe that this is the final piece that I need to have more self-confidence and gain better job opportunities.

In this day and age, I know how important looking good is for any career. I know this surgery will increase my chances three-fold on top of my education, experience and talent.

Please reply if you can help. This is not only an investment in my confidence; It is an investment in my fruitful career. Thank you.

Must ... not ... snark ...

1. Go ahead and snark. I spit coffee.

2. She's going to get the money.

3. We're all whores, it's just price we always haggle about.

Hey, don't laugh. It worked for Congresswoman Katherine Harris.

Now there's a career I'd like to invest in. [/sarcasm] When an admitted briber says he bribed you and your own party's governor says you've got no chance of winning, like it or not, you are Dead Candidate Running.

What ever happened to falsies?

BTW, the TypeKey link is broken.

Astro Boy, I *think* that's because we're in the process of switching to a new registration system, but I'm working from home today so I'm not sure.
