Well of course! Because chickens love buttmashed grapes! lol
grapes+force=Mashedgrapes
If mashedgrapes = wine
Then…
goldseller = drunk?
He thought the grapes were eggs (although that would only work with a hen, would it not?) ? And how would that trap the chicken in the same way that eating them … you know what, never mind. I found a cookie in my kitchen. ^_^
lol I have absolutly no idea what that crazy gold seller is on…but I want some!
This exact add was also being broadcasted on the Terokkar realm trade chat… these guys get around.
Chicken wants grapes, and gets stuck up the person’s butt?
…
It’s designed to throw off any spam filters, assuming that some of them read only the first few words of messages they scan.
Spammers often employ this tactic for emails, where spam filters often read only the first few lines of a message looking for matches to predefined spam patterns – quoting half a page from a book or publication often throws them off.

The sense in the ad that it makes you think and blog about it, memorizing and maybe even spreading the goldseller site’s address (you blurred it out but others would may not bother)
Hmm… Sir Gevlon has a point there. Forget what I said about the butt thing.
Mithrilina is probably right, but I like Klinderas’ explanation better.
Hmm, must be a China thing that we American just don’t understand :p
Mithrilina is right as to what they were trying to do – get around spam filters. However, this totally logical explanation of spam filters left out the fun of figuring out the grapes and the chicken.
Somehow when they make a joke about it, it’s not so bad. Even though this is a bad joke,but still. I got a whisper last night from a gold seller (usually I Report & IGnore without missing a beat (or a Slam in this case, I hate being melee, but that’s another story)) saying “I know you probably don’t want buy gold, but if you do, give me a shout” I just answered “no thanks, but plus points for the humour” – and got a “gl & hf” in return, so there really are a human behind the gold seller *woot*!!
I agree about this being a translation issue. Funny story about a curling iron sold here in the USA. When translated on the box for sale in another country (can’t remember which), the product name came out saying to them “Manure Stick”. It didn’t sell well, but people got a laugh.
Wow, the gold sellers are really going off the deep end on their tells :-/. Lately though, the gold selling ads have been drowned out by the casino spam :-/
