Oh, the joys of targeted marketing. NOT!
Here's what I had in my inbox this morning:
It's not that I'm opposed to the person of color. In fact there are several "Black" men (it's ok to refer to them that way if the ad does, right?) that I find wildly attractive. Sterling Sharp, Blair Underwood, Taye Diggs. All very, very yummy. But I digress...
I think we all know that my tastes run more to the Brown than the Black.
As a reminder, here's what I look like:
Yes, those are freckles. And blue eyes. Oh yeah, and I've been married for 11 years. To a Mexican.
You'll see if you look closely enough, that there is an "opt out" option at the bottom of the email, and I've tried to exercise that option several times.
So, I tried a different approach today. Since the email at least appears to come from a human's email address, I emailed him back a picture of me. And one of my Mexican husband. And asked him nicely to include us both in his database of singles if he thought we would be a fit for his service. Otherwise, would he kindly remove my address from his system? I'm really, truly, not interested. Unless of course, Taye Diggs is on there and wouldn't mind a dalliance with a 40-something married white chick
I'm now taking bets on whether or not I'll get another email from our friends at BlackPeopleMeet.com.
You want in?
Peace out,

What do I do about all the spam for Viagra? I don't have a willie. Except for the one I occasionally borrow that's firmly attached to the hubster. And at last check, he doesn't need Viagra. I just need a low cut shirt. Seriously. Do I send all those spammers photos of the shirts I'd like included in my wardrobe?? Will it have the same effect as "opting out"?
You both have made be giggle snort today!!! Much love to Lady Steele and M-!!!
