Craigslist Man Wants To Give You Art In Exchange For An Enema (PHOTO)

As any young collector knows, art is not cheap. Good thing there are other means beside cold, hard cash to help us plebeians quench our aesthetic thirst. For instance, you could give an enema to a stranger on Craigslist in exchange for a black-and-white homage to Sigmund Freud.

Gawker first alerted us to this most unholy of Craigslist ads, which starts out with a bang: "Will swap rare 1950s poster for 2 hour massage + enema (Queens)." Cheers to putting it all out there, sir!

The bold Craigslister writes: "i am willing to swap this rare 1950s poster for a nice 2 hour massage and internal cleansing. this would make a fantastic christmas gift for someone!" As Gawker notes, this offer was posted after Christmas.

In case this offer happens to appeal to you, the news only gets better. Apparently our Queens-based art and enema aficionado has "other things for swap" as well, meaning the exchange could become "a steady thing." (Christie's and Sotheby's take note, enemas may be the hottest new form of art currency.)

In a way, it's nice to know a dude in Queens can attempt to auction off a cheesy optical illusion rare 1950s poster with such an intriguing bartering scheme. Who says only famous artists can be eccentric?

See more Craigslist ads that weird us out in the slideshow below and let us know what you think in the comments.

• Life-Sized Character

  Ah, yet another life-sized doll for sale. We're starting to get so used to seeing these that they almost seem normal... http://peoria.craigslist.org/for/3358499167.html

• 1,000 Healthy Energy Mints

  There's just something about a big cardboard box full of something "edible" that kind of scares us. Some nutrition facts or maybe an ingredient list would make us feel much better about potentially consuming these. http://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/for/3344376492.html

• Clip-on Wearable Pocket Plasma Device

  Is this "a thing"? Do people wear these out in public? It's safe to say we're confused. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/3359469239.html

• Rusty Metal Pig

  This ad is strange mostly because of its description: "brand spanking used." Not exactly the most tempting language choice. We think there's probably a better way to describe this rusty little pig's wear and tear that might make it a bit more desirable to potential buyers. http://hattiesburg.craigslist.org/fod/3354166243.html

• Five Nice Elephants

  Elephants are great animals. But we're just puzzled about why someone would want an entire menagerie of them as home decor. If you have a safari-themed room, perhaps? http://providence.craigslist.org/hsh/3293339815.html

• Used Hair Straightener

  We're all for recycling and reusing... but there's something about used beauty products that really turns us off. Umm... we're not interested. http://panamacity.craigslist.org/hab/3254953645.html

• Broken VHS Player

  VHS players are already pretty much obsolete--we can't quite figure out what someone would want with a broken one. No wonder it's free. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/zip/3359508675.html
