This was my post on October 10: "I believe that "Freakonomics" has sold 3 million copies worldwide. The authors, Levitt and Dubner are keeping up their creative output with their blog, and I don't miss glancing at it with my morning coffee. This entry from yesterday, although borrowed from another source (Craigslist) is a hoot. Enjoy!"
Whether the Craigslist ad itself is a creative piece of copy (i.e.fake), and even though the response may be a bit sexist, you have to agree that it is quite funny and well-written. There is even some economic analysis in the response cited in the Freakonomics post.
I hear the post has found wide readership in New York and especially on Wall Street. Furthermore, the story has been picked up by some media heavyweights from the Times to the BBC News to Scientific American.
A friend of mine checked out the original Craigslist ad. He found several other humerous responses to the lady looking for a Sugar Daddy.
Readers: If you read anything funny, and even if it has a smidgen of economics, please share it by posting the link as a Comment on my blog.
