My Internet Love Is A Corpse-Hoarding Granny
from the not-your-everyday-news-story dept
For those of you not already scared off by the concept of internet dating, here's a story for you. A 27-year-old guy met a nice woman online in a chat room. They emailed for months and exchanged pictures. Eventually, the guy went to go meet the woman. It turns our the pictures she sent were 35 years old, and she's now 65. To make matters worse, she also was storing a dead man (her old housemate) in the freezer so she could keep taking money from him and living in his house. On the internet, I guess, no one knows you're a 65-year-old, corpse-hoarding granny on the lookout for love.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
