The advertisement, which is written by ‘Vincent Van Gogh’ states: ‘This room will make you feel like you’re living in a painting. It’s decorated in a Post-Impressionist style, reminiscent of Southern France and times gone by. 

‘Its furniture, bright colours, and artwork will give you the experience of a lifetime.

‘I am charging $10 for no other reason than that I need to buy paint. However, I will be happy to provide you with tickets to my exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago.’
