more and better quotes that make you go 'huh?'

From an article about the potential for carousing in Windsor, just over the Canadian border from Detroit (and tomorrow's Super Bowl):

"I'm angry that they call us Sin City, because I'm envious of our position," said Mark Boscariol, who owns five bars and restaurants in Windsor. "Because if you want to tempt your gluttony, you can do it at our restaurants. If you want to tempt your lust, you can do it at our nightclubs and strip joints. If you want to tempt your greed, you can try your luck at the casino. If you're feeling a little bit of sloth, you can hang out in one of our lounges. Our entertainment industry is something we have as a natural resource, and it's a fit, and we're hoping to promote it."

Moving on to a completely clueless-sounding quote from a man unaffected by craiglist's new fees for very specific markets, and keep in mind new postings on craigslist always go on top:

Though he posts his listings there now, he might reconsider if there were a charge. "If it's really going down at the bottom of the list, it may be throwing money away," he said.

So I have a few questions for the journalism community:
1. Do you really need quotes so badly that you had to use these?
2. Was it too much work to insert a few extra characters [in brackets like this] to keep these people from sounding like morons?
or,
3. Is this the kind of thing you do on Friday afternoon for entertainment value, and if so, we did have some fun with it, thank you.
