About the Book

"Fake Personal Ads" is the ideal fun book to pass around at a party, to laugh at over lunch with a friend, or to just sit alone with as an amusing companion. There are three types of people: First, those who read personal ads/dating profiles on the internet to find eternal love, or, if not that, then someone to accompany them to karaoke night at the local bar; second, those who read the personals to laugh at the exaggerated opinion people have about themselves and, worse, the unrealistic expectations about what they are looking for in a mate; and, third, those who read dating profiles to laugh at the self-promotion and then, when no one is looking, respond to the ad by claiming that they are new to internet dating, though they have been meeting hundreds of people online for the past eight years. Who can make this stuff up? Actually the author, James Francis Johnson, can make this stuff up and has done so throughout this book. This is a collection of satirical personal ads that group Men and Women promoting themselves on the dating market under a particular theme. For example, one theme is marriage proposals done at sporting events and projected onto the Jumbotron, so that the Men Seeking Women ad is called "I Want to Propose to a Lady on the Jumbotron," while the Women Seeking Men ad is entitled "If You Propose to Me on the Jumbotron, I'll Kill You." This book is for the second type of person, who reads personal ads for laughs.
