Ppl who use others work to advertise their's.

This guy/company bugs me. He's advertising work, but uses others ppls pictures (with given credit).

Is it just me??? I don't think it's right.

Yeah... that's down right #$%*ty.  I also hate keyword spammers.

I'm missing something - are those pictures NOT of his own shop's work?  The ad text doesn't say at all, and it certainly IMPLIES that they're photos of his own work.

Ditto the 5000 keywords...  sheesh.

The bike on the bottom right is from WrenchMonkees' stables.

I've seen the green cafe in the bottom left before, but can't place it.

Frankly I am 0 fer 3 on finding decent services on CL. Everyone I've hired turned out to be a flop. I won't go to CL for services ever again. I just don't trust them.

If they can't show their own bikes, that says a lot.
