Holiday parties this time of year are a dime a dozen. If you really want your party to stand out from all of the others, there is just one thing to do: hire this guy to be your living Elf on a Shelf.
A Craigslist ad popped up this week in the Boston area, and boy is it a good one!:
For $100/hour I will come to your holiday party dressed as the Elf on the Shelf and sit in any location you assign me while I stare emptily at your guests for the duration of the event.
I specialize in holiday themed events, either yours or an un-expecting friend’s, but I also offer contracted private investigation and babysitting services. Please inquire about these rates, as they are negotiable based on the task at hand.
My services have been in high demand this season, so I now require at least 48 hours notice in advance of any bookings and appreciate your understanding.
Thank you, and happy holidays!
[whatever you want my name to be]
Here is what the ad looks like:
Huffington Post caught up with the man who posted it, 28-year-old Jesse Brower, 28, who said that he initially posted the ad (with a picture that he claims is not him) as a joke, “I was thinking about how funny it would be to hire a really creepy guy to sit around … to just weird everyone out.”
But, after the ad went viral, now he is considering multiple offers to actually go to some Holiday parties this year.
Just do not hire him for your kids, they already have enough issues with Elf on a Shelf.
