Does this ytmnd predate the movie 'safety not guaranteed'?
Yes, it does. There's also audio of Don LaFontaine reading the ad in his signature movie trailer style [1] - I'm a little unclear on whether the YTMNDer requested it from him or if he came up with the idea himself, but it also predates the actual movie by a fair number of years.

Yes, by a lot
The movie is based on that old classified ad. It was a dank boomer meme.
I believe it was actually an space filling joke ad in the back of Soldier of Fortune magazine
