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.

When I said I was a fan of transparency

"When I said I was a fan of transparency, I did not mean transparency of clothing!"

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

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.

The correct mis-spelling is "looses".

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

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.

the girlfriend from hawaii lives with him in russia

update: to assist ladies and Snowden, GF search

[raymorris]

To assist both Edward and ladies who are interested in him, a special email address has been set up specifically to find Snowden's next girlfriend. After weeding out the fatties and the geriatrics, finalists will be reviewed by Snowden, for when he gets tired of his current GF.

Ladies, please send your nerd creds and nudes to gfsearch@raymorris.org .

it gets old

[frovingslosh]

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.

I understand

[PopeRatzo]

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?

Re:I'm tired too

[jellomizer]

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.
