Most things in this life are too good to be true, whether it's an internship with Beyonce, a human-sized hamster wheel, or the concept of true love. At this point, we don't really trust anyone, especially someone who offers things for free on Craigslist. Having said that, we can't just ignore it when a person claims that they are giving awayhundreds of piñatas, now can we?
You can read the full Craigslist blurb below, in which the person claims they have three rooms full of empty piñatas in Manhattan, just waiting for you to fill them with candy, and then gorge yourself into a sugar-induced coma:
Commercial tenant has moved out leaving 3 rooms full of new unused Pinatas. Various shapes, sizes, and themes. Big, small, traditional, spongbob squarepants all that shit.
Pinatas are empty and In good new condition. I need them gone by Saturday afternoon when new tenant will begin moving in stuff and do not want to pay for a dumpster. Come and take as many as you possibly can.
Please contact my assistant Tina for the address in Midtown. Serious inquiries Only. I'm not trying to get shot by wackos on the internet over fucking Pinatas.
That last line should be on the masthead of The Internet.
We'll update if/when we hear back from Tina, who we've called several times for more information.
Even if you don't get through to Tina—even if this turns out to be another irritating and utterly pointless viral hoax—maybe we should all use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate our lives and throw more piñata parties.
