Ad

You can never truly know why someone is posting an ad online. It could be that they wanted to sell their art or share their craftsmanship. Sometimes they just want to make a joke or totally freak out strangers. Whether it's a baby doll/arachnid hybrid or a tortilla shaped like Lincoln, people won't stop trying to sell bizarre stuff online.

Ads and packaging make stuff look like it's gonna be fantastic. I mean, sure it's the job of a commercial to make a burger look like the be-all-end-all of burgerdom. But when what you get is so different from what was advertised, you can't help but feel like you've been had. Here are some times when reality got the best of people's expectations.

This person somehow managed to write a craigslist ad that made the world's most boring, practical car sound exciting. The Toyota Avalon. It's what you deserve.

Is this dude immortal or what. 

Salesman of the decade! We want to buy everything from this guy. Word has it he successfully sold the thing, too.

Fine corporations, you win this time...
