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.

    Fugitive whistle blower and unlikely sex symbol drops a few hints about the 'Christmas presents' he received from female fans

    Edward Snowden is reportedly becoming tired of receiving graphic nude pictures from his female admirers.

    The fugitive whistle blower said he was flattered by all the women who bombarded him with "Christmas presents", but reminded them he had a girlfriend.

    Described as a traitor by British and American intelligence services, Snowden has become a sex symbol after leaking huge amounts of data relating to mass surveillance.

    According to Motherboard , there is little doubt the "presents" Snowden alluded to were actually photos of ladies with no clothes on.

    "I can neither confirm nor deny it means exactly what you think it means," Snowden said.

    Anyone planning to expose themselves to the sexpot geek should probably be aware that the FBI are probably monitoring his communications.

    Snowden's no fool. You get a few genuine groupies, but as many are probably trying to catch the guy out. See also Julian.

    I think it is to show how poor woman are at making good decisions. A guy like him without the notoriety would be on the ignore list for women. But he showed he is a dangerous guy who is on the edge of getting killed means he is prime material.

    FTFY, because we all know men are purely rational when it comes to women, right?
