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.

    I'm sort of wondering if this nude pictures problem isn't a trap.The US government just took over a kiddie porn site and ran it in order to trap visitors. So what is to stop them from sending 14 or 15 year old nudes that look a little older so they can tip some Russian officials off about child porn sitting on a computer that gets tracked down to Snowden. He then losses his sanctuary and gets swept up by the feds and is a positive notch in Obama's legacy (killed Bin Laden and captured Snowden )

    Of course Snowden is too smart for that and complains publicly that unrequested nudes are being sent that he doesn't want them. Now if it happens, its a setup that is obviously a setup beyond his control.

    Women seem to have a thing for men who do courageous things or things that put you in great danger.
    I might have to do something like that... but must be something that doesn't land me in jail
