Oh, the humanity

A few weeks ago, one of my co-workers at the library found this little "business" card slipped into one of the novels in the Romance section. Typed on one side was the following text:

ATTENTION LADIES
Intelligent, funny, male, 37, seeks affectionate, non-smoking lady,
age unimportant, thin to curvy build, pregnant OK, submissive preferred,
no drugs. XXX-XXXX or emailaddress@yahoo.com

Obviously, I've deleted the telephone number and email address to protect the not-so-innocent, but can you believe the nerve of this guy? I wonder how many other cards he inserted into those novels. Apparently he thinks romance novel readers are desperate enough to seek out an anonymous man whose card they find in a library book. Gag.

Reminds me of the guy I worked with years ago who faithfully attended women's rights rallies and events to pick up women....

Maybe this is what Dateline is doing now, since they can't do Catch A Predator any more. :)

Well, you have to give him props for a clever marketing campaign... ;)
