The military parade, which is set to take place on Saturday in Washington, DC, has been hit with an allegedly fake advertisement on Craigslist asking for people to come to the parade as seat fillers and extras to present the illusion that lots of people turned out to celebrate U.S. President Donald Trump on his birthday. The advertisement was posted on the site on Tuesday.
"T-Mellon Events is looking for seat fillers and extras to provide their time for space maximization and attendance perception for an event taking place in Washington, DC on June 14th," the description of the event reads. "Extras and Seat fillers will check in on the morning of June 14th at 9:00 a.m."
"Extras are required to wear Red, White and Blue clothing and will be provided a RED hat to wear. GOLD accessories are acceptable as well," the description went on. "The team will advise the extras where to stand or sit according to the line of sight from a VIP viewing platform area." It comes as MAGA supporters traveled as far as 1,200 miles to attend the parade.
"Extras and Seat fillers will be paid a flat daily fee and will be provided a lunch of fast food and soda," it concluded. "We encourage people of color and ethnic groups to sign up for maximum perception control and these individuals will be prominently displayed on the televised broadcast and local viewing screens to be seen by the VIP platform." A ring of steel is surrounding Washington DC and soldiers have been patroling and rehearsing drills ahead of the event.

(5,009 posts)1, it's just too over-the-top nakedly asking for minorities, payment in unspecified "cryptocurrency", lunch of "fast food and soda"
it's a pastiche of all the stupidest stuff MAGA would do, rolled into one silly package.
2, the company behind it was originally "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LLC", which is a real company linked to Cheeto Benito and especially the promotion of his cryptocoin, but it's since been changed to "FIGHT FITE FIGHT LLC" for pretty obvious legal reasons.
