Beaming Classified Ads to the Aliens
List in Space!
Well, this is just what it sounds like. Craigslist is beaming ten thousand ads into space, on the off chance that aliens will receive them and want to buy our used bicycles and lava lamps.
Why? Well, why the heck not. Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster won an eBay auction for the first private communication transmission, light years into deep space. (I got that from their site.) It cost $1225! Cheap! Cheap, when you consider how many zillions of aliens could potentially, uh, never mind.
It's the aliens that answer the personal ads that I'd be worried about.

That money is rightfully mine!
I've been communicating with the mother ship currently orbiting Arcturus for years now (unless using the sub-ether network doesn't count. Sub-ether doesn't care about speed of light).
