Apparently some people's Tivo's are deciding they're gay. (see this wall street journal article.) This is awesome.... "you're Queer, click here, get used to it."
As the owner of "ryan.net", I get TONS of people who (presumably having "ryan" as a first or last name) use "whatever@ryan.net" as their fake email address when signing up for stuff. This means I get their email promotions, but I also get to click on "i forgot my password", and get a new one via that email address.
So far, I have two runaway favorites for this game. First, there's classmates.com, where when you sign up as johnnyquarterback@ryan.net , I log in as you, and tell all your pals from high school that "Johnny Ryan moved out of state, and spends most of his time molesting squirrels in the park, and really focusing on the porn addiction."
And the Champion is Amazon.com, where I get to actually ADD EMBARRASING STUFF to people's WISH LISTS. Amazon then uses this to "intellegently suggest" purchases. I hope grandma's not shopping online with "dobsonryan" when he gets all the suggestions for Jock Itch creams and Transvestite Self-Help books.
In other news, a guy I used to work with got what he deserved the other day for faking his death in the WTC attacks. As I recall, he pretty much faked his life, or at least his career, when I worked with him. He's a schmuck, and him and his prada shoes aren't going to do so well in prison, I don't think.
In addition to Jock Itch creams and Transvestite books, you should add romance novels. Not that there is anything wrong with them (I like to read them on occasion, yes), but many people find it to be very embarassing to be near them (especially boys).
