DontEvenReply.com – emails from an asshole

Source: dontevenreply.com

Found this site this morning, and I enjoyed it so much that by the time I realised how long I’d been on there, I had read almost the entire archive.

This guy (known variously as “Mike Anderson”, “Timmy Tucker”, and a slew of pseudonyms) trawls Craigslist-style personal ad sites and sees how far he can string along people who put up advertisements with increasingly insane offers and situations. Some of the victims almost deserve it (for example, the person posting asking for Jewish-only sperm donors online, what the hell?), but the majority of them are simply caught in the wake of one of the most epic trolls I’ve seen since BloodNinja first donned his robe and wizard hat.

The pranks range from answering an ad from someone trying to sell a truck by accusing them of running over the family dog; all the way to the somewhat macabre propositioning of someone offering a babysitting service to sit at his grandmother’s death bed and force her to sign a will before switching off her life support machine.

Either way, they are thoroughly entertaining, especially when the victim isn’t sure whether or not he’s being serious. Recommended.
