Craigslist: 'I Will Legally Change My Name to Yours for a WWDC Ticket'

A wanted ad has appeared on Craigslist from a developer who is supposedly willing to legally change his name in order to purchase a WWDC ticket.

In what can only be described as a horribly stupid decision, Apple put tickets for WWDC on sale at 5:30am PDT this year. They were sold out by 7:30am. Most west coast developers were still asleep.

To make matters worse, Apple is saying that tickets are not transferable. Thus the ad below...

WWDC tickets are non transferable this year, so naturally I'm willin to legally change my name to yours in order to buy your ticket. To sweeten the deal I will perform the following duties on your behalf for one year:
- Jury duty
- DMV license/registration
- Any of your court ordered community service up to 40 hours
- Visit your senile grandfather once a month

If your name happens to be Jebodiah there is an extra $500 bonus.
Thanks!

This may be a joke but it's sad that many developers weren't even given a chance to purchase tickets for the event.
