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

Posted by timothy on from the reality-tv-drools-in-the-background dept.

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.

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

    Forward those pics my way!

    Or at least upload them to some popular porn site.

    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.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

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