Some jokers made this Craigslist ad today that'll likely be down shortly.
The $9b listing is "For sale: Stalled and collapsing pipeline project (as is)".
A photo of a lonely man walking along a corroded pipeline accompanies the ad which notes that the pipeline project has "mountain, river and ocean views" and that it also "comes with a vintage 1950s pipeline".
Interested parties are told to "Ask for Justin" when inquiring.
It was tweeted out by Coast Protectors, a group dedicated to doing "whatever it takes to stop Kinder Morgan", but it's unclear who placed the ad.

Here's the copy from the listing:
For sale: one pipeline project, in fair condition. Comes with federal approval. (subject to 15 legal challenges, but it'll be fine). Also comes with a vintage 1950s pipeline.
The vintage pipeline is a handyman's dream project. It has been in place since the 1950s and has only had around 70 spills - a great fixer upper.
Nestled in a cosy right of way, with mountain, river and ocean views, and through prime agricultural and dense residential real estate in Vancouver's red-hot housing market! Close to schools, day cares and community centres. (the neighbours can be a little loud, but we find it's easiest just to ignore them)
Buyers must be prepared to hold $500M in cash for oil spill liability, which we think is such a low likelihood that we haven't even done any modelling.
Asking $9B (CAD) OBO. Ask for Justin.
