Living the Writing Dream
MSNBC headline writer Ernie Kovacs strikes again(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10483732/):
You’ve Got Mail, and Maybe Gonorrhea
Free e-cards inform sex partners they may have an STD
Genius.
Here's an excerpt:
LOS ANGELES - You’ve got mail — and possibly gonorrhea, HIV or another sexually transmitted disease.
E-mail sent through Web sites launched in Los Angeles and San Francisco is providing people with a free, sometimes anonymous, way to tell their casual sex partners they might have picked up more than they bargained for.
...The site allows users to choose one of six free e-cards to send to their sexual contacts either unsigned or with a personal message that avoids awkward face-to-face disclosure.
“It’s not what you bought to the party, it’s what you left with,” says one e-card featuring a picture of a bare-chested man. “I left with an STD. You might have one too. Get checked out soon.”
Now there's a dream job for a writer--the Hallmark of Herpes.
I have a few suggestions for future e-cards.
You said you put the sizzle in the steak. I had no idea.
[Communist reader content alert]
It rhymes with North Korea.
Paris is burning. Wait--that's not Paris.
I see England
I see France
I see your underpants
So I gave you syphilis
I'm sure we're not done with this yet.
