Nothing You Do On The Internet Is Private

We can't not repost this Metblogs item today, even though it's started to creep into Google News territory by now.. Before continuing it should be noted that taking your pants off and walking around the office with a thumb in your ass would be safer for work than the rest of these links.

A friend of a friend of ours did this once. He posted a Craigslist ad posing as a female to see what kind of response he'd get, mainly because he responded to Craigslist ads (to the best of our knoweldge he has never emailed anyone a picture of his penis) and wanted to see what kind of company he was in. It wasn't pretty. We're starting to suspect that men posing as women on Craigslist "just to see what kind of response they'd get" is more prevalent than we have heretofor believed. Anyway, this guy in Seattle posted something like this:

i have everything that i need at my place....that is where we will play....no exceptions............. we will play at my place...got it??????????

i fuckin hate yuppies [ iam one].... pretty boys suck......i fuckin hate them all......all they
can do is cum for 2.2 seconds and go 2 sleep..........looking 4 ruff man, harley rider.

Stir in one picture of a naked girl found randomly on the internet and post. He got 178 replies with 145 photos AND THEN he posted all of those emails, photos, email addresses, screen names, phone numbers, postal addresses to the web. Here's another account of it that might be more responsive.

The internet swept into action and started IDing the men on his LiveJournal.
