Missed Connection: Craig Vs. Wild

This video went up a year ago and I'm only seeing it now? Who's not doing their job, Internet? Hint: you.

BREAKING NEWS: I sent this to my friend Sachar.

sachar: this is great, who is this guy?
gabe: he's from reno 911
sachar: this is the guy who runs craigslist, right?
gabe: hahahahaha
gabe: i'm not confident enough to say that it's NOT the guy who runs craigslist

So this may or may not be Craig Newmark. Unfortunately, there's no way to be sure. If only someone would invent some kind of searchable database of information. Man, if someone invented that it would be worth thousands, literally thousands of dollars.

That guy just directed a commercial that my bf did props for. He's the same guy that was in Napoleon Dynamite, right?
