Okay, I stole this from MatthewPapa's post on GW, but it's still funny.  Basically like textsfromlastnight or FML if you're familiar with that.  Guy responds to random craigslist ads and posts the email exchange online.

OH BOY TROLLING

[Fenrir]

This site is great.

[Flipside]

No, it really isn't.

You can't blame him for trying to get some fun out of spam

This was in response to an ad looking for surrogate mothers. The ad is long and boring, so I'll sum it up: they pretty much pay healthy women a lot of money to carry another couple's baby.
From Me to ************@***********.org:

Hello,

I saw your ad looking for surrogate mothers, and was wondering if you had any openings for a surrogate father. I am willing to sacrifice my body for families who cannot have a child. I would get the sperm intended for the surrogate mother inserted into my balls, and then impregnate the surrogate mother through passoniate intercourse, to assure that the baby is conceived in a more natural environment. Nobody wants a freak petri dish baby as their child.

I saw that compensation was $25,000 for the mother. Since I am doing all of the hard work, however, I am asking for $50,000 as compensation. Also, the surrogate mother must fit the following criteria:

- 18 to 24 years old
- Brunette or Blonde (no redheads)
- Not too short, but not taller than me because that is just weird
- Breast size of C cup or larger
- Not fat
- She must shave "down there"
- STD free (although chlamydia is okay because I already have that)

I look forward to hearing from you. If possible, please send a list of potential surrogate mothers for me to knock up, and include pictures. I will get back to you with who I want to impregnate first.

Thanks,

Mike

From Mary ********* to Me:

Mike,

There is no "surrogate father" program. Sorry.

Mary *********

From Me to Mary *********:

Mary,

Surely there are some fathers who would want this. Just ask your clients if they would be interested in my services. I am sure you will get a positive response.

I forgot to mention that any potential surrogate mothers you have for me must be willing to do anal.

Thanks,

Mike

From Mary ********* to Me:

What is wrong with you? Let me be very clear: there will never be a surrogate father program. One can't simply get another's sperm placed in their "balls." Frankly, your demands are disgusting and you are making a mockery of our program. Do not contact me again.

From Me to Mary *********:

Oh, come on. What demands were disgusting? The anal sex? Studies show that women are 75% more likely to get pregnant if they take it in the ass first.

Believe me, this is not about the sex for me. I just want to help our country's most precious resource: our children. They are our future, you know. You hate children, don't you? By refusing my services, you may as well be working at an abortion clinic.

Please reconsider,

Mike

EPIC!

[Flipside]

Maybe he should take his own advice and not even reply in that case?

Sorry, but I have little time for people who are arseholes purely for the sake of being an arsehole, they might think it's 'lulsy', but, in truth, they are nice and insulated from the effects of their behaviour, it's a supreme act of cowardice. I'll admit there are some pretty pathetic people out there, but then,I'd be hard pushed to say who is more pathetic, the woman who advertises for love on the Internet, or the person who thinks it's funny to harass her over it.

I find Spam just as annoying as the next guy, but this isn't corporate Spam in many cases,  it's just normal, admittedly rather sad, people.

I'll admit that, sometimes, it's fun to poke fun at these groups, but it takes a pretty sad sort of person to dedicate an entire website to it, maybe this guy should get a real hobby?

[Ford Prefect]

I think it's possible to find it amusing without elevating the status of any individual involved. It's the whole situation that's funny-- even if tragically so-- not just the asshole instigating it. We can laugh while acknowledging that what he's doing is pretty pathetic.

[mxlm]

It's ****ed up. It's funny because it's ****ed up.

Of course, I've resolved not to give SBC anymore of my money, so...

[watsisname]

Flipside:  You're not the only person who thinks that. 

I'll find it amusing if it's going between an asshole and someone who uses ridiculously annoying advertising, ala Tom Mabe vs. telemarketers, but this guy's just pathetic.

[DarkBasilisk]

OH BOY TROLLING

Guys. Zack disapproves of this (I think). That should tell you something.

Even if I misread Zack, I'm with Flipside on this one.

[iamzack]

I disapprove of trolling in the vast majority of cases.

[TrashMan]

Does that guy have anything better to do? Really...

He does a lot of it during downtime at work.

[iamzack]

It would be funny if he just posted ads that were ever so slightly off and then posted responses. Being an asshole on purpose kills the fun.
