    Tired of all the phoney high living celebs? Want to spend a week or so getting grounded? Back down to earth. Then trade with me and come stay in Watts and get a taste for life. Are you a writer or an actor? Need some stimulous? Need some chaos? Some adrenaline? Have I got the place for you. We've got whores, pimps, drug dealers, gang bangers, crooked cops, lots of liquor stores and pawn shops. Basically everything you need to pretend your slumming. Just think of it. You can go back to the Bu and tell all your friends about how you were living on the edge. They'll pretend like they get it...but they won't...and they'll be jealous! You'll have the one up on them. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

    I'm looking for a place with a view of the ocean. Preferably with a pool. Maybe a butler and a maid. Also, you should have a car for me. Maybe a limo with a driver. You should also have movie stars as neighbors. It would be nice if you left me a credit card. (with a limit of course) Maybe a little cash too (not much... just for tips and stuff). I'll leave you some weed at my place. If you need more, I'll hook you up with somepone that can help you.

    That's it. E-mail me if you're interested. Give dates you're available. I'm available right away.

    Watts huh? Sounds like a heckuva deal. I'll bet there are hundreds of Malibuans just drooling for a chance like this.

      I hate to say this, but the ad outlines a movie plot that perhaps too many studios would jump at. I can see Jim Carey moving into the mansion, and (perhaps) Anthony Hopkins (in an unusual role) playing an actor looking for inspiration for a future part.

        Actuall, I think it's been done. Trading Places. Eddie Murphy. Dan Akroyd. Don Ameche.

          The ad is free to post and who knows? He/she might get a taker.

            I spent a week in Watts about 40 years ago. Had a great time riding on top of the hose box on the back of a Fire Engine, with my good friend M14. Don't care to go back. Hope he has taker though. Last I heard it wasn't any better.
