A friend of Village Voice staffer Emily Brady recently posted a Craigslist ad looking for a roommate, and got something much better instead: An epically incoherent response from a candidate who starts off citing her "mature sophisticated tastes" in movies, beginning with Superman and ending with Gone With the Wind. The 1,500-plus word tome-deaf message further elaborates on her hypo-allergenic cleaning needs, her flexibility "w/ bathroom time in the mornings so,. U can have it first if U need it, except if I need it in emergency... {esp. PMS intervals..} hahaha!!!" and her cryptic "P/T sense of humor ?? :)" Excerpting anything from this maladroit masterpiece is like reducing Joyce to CliffsNotes, so do enjoy it in its full glory. But here's our favorite bit: The candidate's exhaustive inventory of music preferences, which ranges from Arnie [sic] Guthrie to the Phantom of the Opera to "lots of new songs from the WPIX channel for the shows of Gossip Girl & One Tree Hill, & Smallville (Superman series on thurs nite.8pm), etc....& Supernatural.. They DO a great job at bringing in new music through these very 'happening' shows..." So when can Grandma move in?





She still sounds better than the roommate I had who shit on the floor and didn't clean it up.
Slow news day?

How is that news anyway?
I think there is something ethically wrong with someone who disseminates a response to a classified that really should be considered private.
Agreed.
Cheap laughs at some poor person's expense.
Yeah, like it never happens on Gothamist.
The Voice kept the ad response anonymous. I'd venture the response was troll bait.
Seriously John. Stupid article and you are not cooler than the person who wrote that response.
Douchebag.
Write some real news please.
She's back!! I think the potential roommate is that hipster grifter who was in the news a while back.
Now what was her name?
Can't say I took the time every word... but it's funny. Thanks for posting this, John.
Er -- where did those words go? "the time TO READ every word..."
This is what happens when the reality tv generation buys computers and hops on the internets.
