So, you\u2019re writing the ad. After all, you\u2019re the assistant director of communications at a local medical facility, and like any good ad copy writer, you know one thing for sure: \u201csexy\u201d sells, and gets attention (particularly on Craig\u2019s List). You settle on the following, and hit the submit button:<\/p>\n DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX!<\/p>\n Diehard Phillies fan – gorgeous tall buxom blonde – in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable. I\u2019m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!<\/p>\n Flirtatious? Perhaps. Solicitation? Hardly. But that\u2019s what a <\/span>vice cop in Bensalem, Pa. apparently thought<\/a> when he read Susan Finkelstein\u2019s advertisement in the ticket section of Philadelphia Craig\u2019s List. <\/span><\/p>\n The cop responded to the ad, and set up a meeting with Finkelstein at a local bar. And busted her for prostitution.<\/p>\n Allegedly, Finkelstein crossed some type of arbitrary line, and offered (or implied) that she\u2019d be willing to perform sex acts on the cop and his brother in exchange for two tickets. She was cuffed, booked, and her mug shot is now popping up all over the web\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Inserted from <Alternet<\/a>><\/p>\n The Phillies and Yankees are favorite teams of mine. We got our first TV when I was ten and the Phillies were the team I saw. Robin Roberts was my hero. Later on, I learned that I could buy a round trip ticket from Atlantic City to Yankee Stadium, buy a decent ticket, and have a couple hot dogs and cokes for under $10. I was in the stadium (it took three trips) when Roger Maris hit #61. So this series is rich in memories for me, but seriously?!!? Not even for Bronco\u2019s tickets to the Super Bowl!<\/p>\n On the other hand, didn\u2019t that cop have anything better to do, and what does he have against the Phillies?<\/p>\n Life is often funnier that anything I could invent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, I like baseball as much as the next guy, but the behavior of more extreme fans never ceases to amaze me.

<\/a> Let\u2019s say that you\u2019re a woman, and you\u2019re a die hard fan of the home team. And let\u2019s further stipulate that you\u2019re not a season ticket holder, and you don\u2019t have hundreds of dollars to buy a pair of tickets for yourself and your spouse, even for the cheap seats at the local stadium. What to do, what to do? How about placing an advertisement on Craig\u2019s List, and hope that a sympathetic person who has a couple of spare tickets will help you out?<\/p>\n
