[CAUT] new marketing style - humor?

I think it is hilarious.  However it is a questionable marketing tactic.
 Craigslist, in most cities, has its own culture attached to it and the
people that use the listings.  Maybe it is not for everyone.

It reminds me of the piano movers in Boston, Deathwish Piano Movers.  They
had a humorous name, but at the same time they were very professional in
their abilities as piano movers.  Rumor has it they originally carried guns.
 Apparently they got a lot of business from the yellow pages listing,
conceivably by name alone.
