E – m a i l s f r o m a n a s s h o l e… i <3 it.

there’s tons of funny things i’ve stumbled upon in teh interwebs… and no exception that this one falls in that realm of gut busting funny shit.  it amazes me how some people actually fall for this or even bother replying back to some of the absurd comments from John.

what is this?

This is a collection of e-mails I have sent to people who post classified ads. My goal is to mess with them, confuse them, and/or piss them off. These are the ones that succeeded.

DontEvenReply.com

an example of his fine work:

Some of John’s FAQ’s:

What is this?
This is a website.

The name for this website sucks. What the fuck were you thinking?
I know. My bad.

Where do you find these people you fuck with?
Classified ads.

Why don’t they just ignore you?
Most of them do. I’d say only 10% of people I write to write back.

What is with all the different names you use?
They are all me, just different e-mail accounts.

HEY! I recognize myself in one of these e-mails, you prick!
No you don’t. You’re wrong. Go away.

How do you come up with some of the things you write?
Well I try to think of something to write, then I write it.

Why are a lot of these e-mails sexist?
It seems to piss the women off more. I’m not really sexist or racist, but I still find it hilarious.

How can I contact you?
Put up a classified ad, and try to sound like an idiot. I’ll find you.

No seriously. I want to give you money.
In that case, john@dontevenreply.com. I’ll try to respond, but I do get a lot of e-mails so don’t think I am a jerk if I don’t.

crunchpad for me please

imagine a GIANT IPHONE designed just to surf the web, read email, and watch youtube and hulu all in one sleek 12″ thin screen without the Apple part of it.   this seems like a real practical solution for those folks who do only that.

The CrunchPad is expected to be a light, thin device that is primarily used for browsing the Web, reading e-mail, and viewing videos from Flash-based Web sites like YouTube and Hulu. The device will have a 12-inch touch screen with an “iPhone-like” virtual keyboard, and the device will use Intel’s Atom processor.

imagine the space you can save by avoiding a computer tower?  or losing all those stupid cables that connect to the tower?

sure, you can get a laptop – but a descent laptop will still put you down $700-1000 on the cheap end.  (of course that’s my opinion of borderline quality and cheap)

but imagine picking this thing up for under $300.  yea, i was surprised.

want more background?  check the original post that got it all started.

Michael Arrington – let me know where i can sign up cause i want one!
