Edward Snowden Is Tired of Being Bombarded By Suitors (mirror.co.uk)

cold fjord writes: The Mirror reports that Edward Snowden is experiencing some unexpected fallout from the notoriety he received from his activism for government transparency. It seems he has become something of a sex symbol and his female fans are sending him graphic nude pictures of themselves. He has found it necessary to dissuade them by reminding everyone that the FBI has a warrant for him (and probably monitor his communications so they will see the pics) and that he already has a girlfriend. No word yet on if this is having any effect.

      If he's such a fan of transparency then how 'bout sharing the pics with the rest of the world?

      He then losses his sanctuary

      The correct mis-spelling is "looses".

    The one in Hawaii? A Russian wench?

    I think he broke up with the one in Hawaii and went to great lengths to do so - outing classified information, going on the run, etc... I think he told her, "It's not you, honey, it's the FBI." Future girlfriends beware.

    Yea Edward, you don't need to tell me. It gets so old having all those women chasing after you. We have such a heavy burden.

    To be honest, I have the same problem. After the thousandth chick sends you a selfie of her pootenanny, it gets a bit tiresome.

    Oh, who am I kidding? No, it doesn't.

    Would you leak nudes to Edward Snowden? Yes / No

    I approve of his actions. Why would I want to inflict upon him pics of a large, nude, hairy man?
