A bit more fun
Trolling some Pennsylvania Personals in Yahoo today for the next RBW installment and came across something funny.
Personals ads actually provide a lot of laughs, with horrendous misspellings and grammatical mistakes, blatant body-type lies, and the odd pre-op transvestite (I've seen three!). I resist making fun of such things here because I don't want to start a Mock People in Personals Ads feature. That's just cruel. But this gem I couldn't pass up. From a profile titled "Great Catch Seeks Submissive Kinky Guy":
Okay, I'm done being cruel.
iPod: "Trip Through Your Wires" by U2, "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots, "I Understand It" and ""Actually It's Darkness" by Idlewild, and "Shooting Star" by Elliott Smith.

If you want to understand me you should see the Steven Spielberg movieTo her credit, a check on IMDB reveals that the actual director of Secretary is Steven Shainburg, but come on! Who could see the movie and make that mistake? Even if you didn't know a lot about movies, that's quite an error to make. And quite a funny one, too.
"Secretary."
