    This is very amusing and a true portrayal of some situations in society today. It actually made me (almost) laugh which is rare for me to do when reading a poem.
    In the 'man wanted dead or alive' stanza I thought it was a bit awkward to describe calling in with information as 'applying'. I realise you did this to fit in with the rest of the poem, I just thought it sounded a bit off, you know?
    Thanks for sharing.

    Interesting. I found myself confused about the contradictions until I read the disclaimer at the bottom. Great job.

    That was pretty good, i liked how it was unusual. the set-up, the contradictions and the overall content. It was very well written. I enjoyed it very much

    Haha i loved this one. It struck me as funny at some points, I liked the way you used a bit of sarcasm(if thats what you were going for) in this poem, i enjoyed it much more than the last one, great work 5/5. I've never read anything quite like this.

    That one caught my attention first before I realized it was all contradictory... A great job trying to symbolize the world these days. Great job.

    Excellent idea.

    I'd remove the explaination at the end and let those who don't get it ask.

    The only thing I would change is moving the dead or alive to another part of the 'advert' so as to keep the flow consistent. Tagging it on the end would add another dimension, turngin the ad from a man hunt to a personals and then to a man hunt, as has happened with personal ads.

    I like the fact that I nothing else to add!
