that is odd.. like the add was ran through 8 different translations in babel fish and then back to english

The text underneath is probably just validation text. I wouldn't worry about it. The catch? $25 an hour for an engineer in Ottawa? Ouch! I get twice that in Newfoundland!

Mic and speaker selection. Ouch again.

I thught the text might be something like that, but I checked 1 other ad(I wasn't too worried about it ) and it contained no such absurd text.
Heh, there's probably less competition as far as audio engineers go on The Rock, but I'd bet a bottle of screech there's more musicians per capita than any where else in Canada?
I was a little taken aback when I looked at the mic list, I bet somebody has moved their studio/housing elsewhere and these are leftovers. probably not able to get the million+ he wants for the house.

Hey guys, Im the one posting that ad. We're in toronto, there is no strings attached. The ad is written in plain english, and there is no "catch", and that "white text" you're talking about, I don't know what that is, as I did not develop the kijiji.ca website code, it looks like kijiji generated that weird code...
Thanks

The house is not worth a million. It's a 1600 sq ft house in richmond hill, check it out values out for the area.

They might be keywords or something similar. So search engines can find the add more fast.
