We did not publish these ads (we discovered out there was another 1), nor do we know who did. We have asked Craigslist to eliminate them, and they have. We have skilled a amount of phishing attempts and harassment more than the final 30 days, and that’s what I assume this was as effectively.

The complete point finished up getting the Tremendous Bowl of internet amusement — if the Tremendous Bowl was only fifteen minutes extended and starred a single man who was primarily the amalgamation of every character on Jersey Shore.

Now it seems the company is hunting to recruit. And where has the Avenger team taken its research for suitable staffers? Craigslist.
