Craigslist Ad... actually NOT looking for free work

I don't know how long it'll be up, but I'll just copy and paste here. Just ran across it in the "free" section of the DFW craigslist, and thought it was interesting.

I'm not a horror film person, so I'm curious as to what DVD it is... ??

Start quote:

I have a collection of about 400 DVD's sitting in my room right now, one of which is bothering me. This DVD has not been played in about 10 months, and for some reason it keeps moving around on the DVD shelf. No, it is not a well-thought out plan devised by my roommates, they smoke too much pot. And no, I do not move it, and my Dog doesn't move it. The only reasonable explanation is that it obviously needs more attention, and it moves itself around by some magical DVD jedi mind trick power. I just can't seem to find the time for it....to give it the attention it deserves. I would like to find a new home for it, I can't see it suffer any longer. The DVD is boxed trained, and always stays on the shelf. I do not have the original receipt, but it really is registered with the MPAA. All I ask is you guess the name of this DVD using these clues:

Opened in theaters in the second half of 2006
Opened the same day, but 3 years later, as the 3rd of 4 scary movie collection that pulled in $48,113,770 the opening weekend
One of the stars went to UCLA
One of the stars appeared in the X-Files
Approx 95 minutes long

I'm still trying to figure out how he knows the movie is going to open again in 2009 and gross 48 mil. Or maybe he just has bad grammar.
 
Actually I think that line makes sense, though I did read it eighteen times.

Well there's one answer to this, that obviously this person doesn't think is reasonable.... but he's obviously got some form of spirtual/paranormal activity in that room/building. Things don't move unless somebody or something moves them. If that story is even remotely true anyway.
 
I once saw an EBAY item of a pink stuffed animal. It was advertised as being lost years ago in the persons child hood, and later in adult hood (after she had been through college and moved into her own house) reappeared and has since 'magically' moved around seemingly by itself.

So even Ebay has cursed and possessed pink stuffed animals for sale.

I almost bought it because I thought it was so funny.
