Tongue-in-Cheek Website Lets You Hire a Hitman
Yes, the pandemic has us all going a little crazy.
They say you can find almost anything on the internet, and we've found that it's apparently true: You can hire your own hitman!
Rent-A-Hitman promises to be your "Your Point & Click Solution!"
Wait. Is this true? Is this legal?
According to the website, it is "100% HIPPA compliant with the
HITMAN INFORMATION PRIVACY & PROTECTION ACT of 1964."
Well, in that case.....
Yes, it's a joke website.
Some of the "referrals" on the site are hilarious!
Caught my husband cheating with the babysitter and resolved after a free public relations consultation. I'm single again and looking to mingle. Thanks Guido!
My schedule is too busy to get my hands dirty, so I consulted with RAH and they handled my public relations issue for me. Gracias, RAH!
Guido and his public relations crew were able to resolve a five year dispute in a matter of days. Highly recommended!
So, how did we find our about this website? Get ready for this:
An actual live person went to the website, filled out a form, apparently actually intending to get help killing her ex-husband!
According to the Smoking Gun, Wendy Wein, 51, of Michigan contacted the website editor, offering $5,000 to kill her ex-husband. The site says the editor contacted police and Wein was eventually arrested.
Classic.
Oh, by the way, if you're wondering about Rent-A-Hitman business through these tough times, don't worry, they're looking out for you:
