Craigslist’s “Missed Connections” and “Casual Encounters” + God Prefers Atheists
WE MET THROUGH CRAIGSLIST
Oh do I love the internet. Someone send Al Gore a thank you card. What we did before Google and YouTube I don’t even know. How did we look up information? The library? That sounds painfully awful. The only bad thing about the internet is it gives uneducated and naive people with too much time on their hands a voice.
But then – out of left field – something so simple yet so entertaining is discovered. Craigslist’s “missed connections” gives soft-spoken people with a self-aware cowardice the chance to reconnect with a girl/guy they saw perusing the cereal aisle or the buxom blonde who smiled back at them at the airport. “Casual encounters” gives people still living in their parent’s basement the opportunity to meet other nerds over coffee – or some weird request like dressing up as pirates and recreating scenes from Ron Howard movies.
I would really like to know the average IQ of these people. Instead of posting anonymously on the internet about some chick you missed out on, how about you work on your interpersonal skills?
I’ve decided to post a couple “greatest hits” – the most embarrassing of the embarrassment. Naturally, I feel like they are all going to be lame but there really are a few gems here.
