The Unholy Cameraphone Trinity
A lot of people must be getting laid thanks to Craigslist. Apparently, I missed the memo. Before I touch on that subject, I’ll give you a moment to finish laughing at Congressman Chris Lee in the photo above pulling a Bishop Eddie Long, posing in the mirror like a lil’ hoe. The past six months have proven that famous people need to give up on camera phone technology altogether. If I see another high profile individual or pillar of the community showing off his physique in the bathroom mirror, I’m going to be very upset. I may even smack someone.
That someone would most likely be Chris Lee, since from the looks of things, I can whup that dude in a fair one. I’m not picking a fight with muscle-bound Eddie Long and getting my ass kicked by a man of God. That would be rather unfortunate and embarassing on many levels.
On a side note, let me clarify that Spider-Man does not actually exist in real-life. This is just Photoshop mayhem created by yours truly. At least our make-believe heroes are not cornballs.
Returning to the original topic, Chris Lee got caught up sending his shirtless photos to a woman on Craigslist, and lying in order to hook up with her. I always knew that Craigslist has had problems with hookers, but I didn’t realize how often people met others on that site until fairly recently. I only visit Craigslist when I’m looking to sell things I no longer want, buy something for the price of CHEAP or occasionally apply for jobs that sound good on paper. I’ve never thought “Hey, let me try to find a date at this online equivalent of a flea market.”
I’m not judging those who do use Craigslist to enhance your social lives. If it works for you, why not? I just want you to be smart about it. Here is a short list of people who should not try to get laid via Craigslist…but probably will anyway:
- Famous people
- Married people
- Famous married people
- Congressmen
- Famous married Congressmen
- Spider-Man
If you fall into any of these categories, especially the last one, please, don’t do it! Also, to anyone reading this who may be at-risk: put your damn shirt back on and stop pretending to be America’s Next Top Bathroom Mirror Model! Nobody wants to see that.

^^^^^^
THIS!!
hahahah
Hey, Craigslist IS like an online flea market, Why the hell would anyone date from there. It’s risky enough to buy so-called “new” electronics or furniture in “good condition” without worrying about fleas and bedbugs in them let alone trying to find a date. Might be fleas and bedbugs in those too…
Dating on Craigslist is no different than dating(or seeking dates) on other free dating sites….it’s gonna be a risk either way because you really don’t know ANY of these people. But if you’re high profile, it’s even MORE idiotic to go that route….and use your real name……and post a picture of yourself w/o your shirt on……and lie about your status. Just plain STUUUUpid
You will get found out, and I will laugh when news outlets, late night talk shows and bloggers clown your a** for said stupidity. LOL!
Yeah, if I were a Congressman trying to get laid, I’d just go to a bar & be like “b*tch I’m a Congressman. Fellate me. THIS INSTANT!” I’m sure it would work on somebody.
I was completely cluess to the fact that people were using Craigslist as a dating site. I thought everybody picked up all of their dates on Facebook??
After a few people were robbed or killed after answering adds off Craigslist and especially after the Craigslist Killer I would think that people would steer clear of meeting the love of their life or their booty calls on Craigslist but wait…I should know better than that lol
Yeah, anything that makes things easy and convenient will always draw a crowd. It actually makes sense, aside from the murders…lol
Craigslist for booty calls is just like Craigslist for everything else. Efficient. You get past the bs and right to business. I use it regularly. Its safe and effective if used with a proper dose of common sense.
Nice! I’m single now, so I may give it a try…but I’m bringing a gun to my first date just in case it’s a setup! I watch the news, so I’m preparing myself beforehand!
i probably have the wrong attitude for success…LOL
