Default CL ad--how not to sell

This could be one of the more ridiculously written ads I've seen. I guess paragraphs or bullet points for each item is too much to ask....

You guys need to spend some time on Ebay and see an ad like this without the ability to spell.

Well I do have to say that at least the seller used punctuation and capital letters, which tells me he's probably older than 21.

I wonder where our society will be in 10 years, when the kids today become nurses, pharmacists, and doctors, taking care of our generation.

Your text: Can you tell me what the dosage is on these pills?

Doctor's text message : take 2 pils 4 yo coff n stuf up nose if u want 2 call me at da offis iz ok

Your text : Ok, I will try this medicine.

Doctor's text message : yo nerse wil call bak latr ta aks how u feelin bro

Welcome to the future....

You for got to add the following to the Doctor's text:

Doctor's text message : take 2 pils LIKE 4 yo coff n LIKE stuf up nose if u want 2 LIKE call me at da LIKE offis iz LIKE ok

And I'm not trying to be funny about this.
