(Dammit, who taught my mom how to use Craigslist)
Dreamworks just paid mid six figures for a romantic comedy pitch with stories based on Craigslist Missed Connections ads. Still no word on whether I’ll be receiving royalties for all those times I rubbed my boner on chicks on the subway. 
Based on a comics anthology edited by Julia Wertz, the Andrea McCloud pitch revolves around four intersecting love stories derived from missed-connections ads. George Tillman Jr. (Notorious, Soul Food) is attached to direct and produce.
Wertz’s “I Saw You …” collected comics based on real-life missed-connection ads on Craigslist and in local papers. Random House’s Three Rivers Press imprint published the trade paperback in February. [THR]
As a guy, I’d be far more inclined to watch a movie based on the Casual Encounters section. “Craigslist.Orgy, Cumming This Summer.” But as long as they’re making crappy, Love Actually-style movies based on Missed Connections, I think it’s only fair that they use this one:
From original FilmDrunkard-turned-professional blogger Robopanda over at GammaSquad:
fargo craigslist – personals – missed connections
New Moon midnight showing – m4w – 27 (Fargo, ND)
Date: 2009-11-20, 9:35AM CST
i sat behind you at he midnight showing of New Moon last night. Me: medium height, dark hair, long nails, mysterious. You: straight long blond hair, full ruby lips, you were wearing black cargo pants and a twilight hoodie. as your hair draped down behind your seat i just has to hold it and smell it deeply(pantene. great choice). i dont remember much ov the movie but i will always remember the smell and texture of your hair. the way you sound when you whisper and laugh. after the movie i followed you and your friend to perkin’s. i waited outside in my car so i could watch you eat and smile. i followed you home and made sure you got there safely.i noticed you left you car unlocked so i went to have a look into your life. i can tell by looking in your car that we have a lot in common. if you want your dash ornaments back you will have to meet me and we can have a great time getting to know each other. “grin” [CraigslistFargo]
It’s fitting that that ad came from Fargo, because there’s a good chance a person who answered it would end up in a wood chipper.

I saw you from my perch in the alley, even though my clown wig obscured the binoculars from time to time, I still was touched by your getting into your flannel pajamas and watching Ally McBeal reruns for three hours…so touched, I killed a squirrel and used it as a fifi then fed it to them kids in my van!
“I Saw You” is also the title of a magician’s help wanted ad on Craigslist.
First Twilight, and now this?
Way to glorify stalking, Hollywood!
Take a gooood loooong look Stephanie Myers, you are feasting on these people’s money.
She’s feasting on our money, since we’re the tax payers that fund their unemployment.
That bitch feasts on cats and nothing else.
They’re going to have to put on the subway print advertisements “It is NOT ok to contact this poster with a Sharpie and draw swastikas on it”.
Does ‘feasts on cats’ mean what I think it means?
You know that CraigslistFargo ad is real because the chick went to eat at Perkin’s after seeing New Moon
I don’t know, I’m lonely.
(pantene. great choice)
Oh realy Captain Whacksinbushes? What if she wasn’t poor white trash and had used Aveda Sap Moss? Would you have spunked in her hair out of spite?
Any suprise this dude went to see New Moon alone?
New Moon fans are known to feast on copious amounts of cock.
Especially at Popeye’s
Anyone who describes himself as “mysterious” deserves a punch to the balls.
Meanwhile, Blue Moon saw you standing alone. Without a dream in your heart, without a love of your own.
I think “missed connections” describe a majority of this tool’s neurons.
Funny enough, the first time I had anal sex with my girlfriend was just a case of a “missed connection.” Damn lube.
CSI: It appears the victim had three black discs lined up in a row when a red disc was dropped into the remaining slot. We think it’s a suicide.
Horatio Caine: It would appear this is a case of a *sunglasses* …missed connection.
YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Yea
