Or not. While Craigslist is making a big deal out of "shutting down" its erotic services category, it's actually creating a new one called adult services that will cater to much the same clientele (but posts will be reviewed by CL employees). The CL murders seem to be more of a motivator than Craig first let on. To close on the lighter side, we direct you to this CL ad for an agency copywriter--you have to write "aggressive, shocking yet diplomatic headlines" and are advised "it is not necessary to have medical experience, but if you do, and are edgy, you'll be at the top of our list!" Somehow we're still thinking "CL murders."

First came Craigslist killer No.1, then yesterday we were introduced to Craigslist wannabe-killer No. 2: Shawn T. Skelton, a 24-year-old Kent man who posted an ad seeking an "encounter" with women to have sex with and then kill. Tipped off, the Seattle police went undercover and put the kibosh on that creepy situation. Skelton is now being held on $1 million bail on investigation of attempted murder. A boycott of the erotic services portion of the site has yet to take off. Craig himself says, "It's not happening."
