An email I received from the founder of the Harvard Pops Orchestra , of which I was the president in college. Eric is mid-30s, married with a kid, and I have met him only once, several years ago.
From: Eric D.
Subject: a random thought
Liz--I'm a very honest and open person, and it takes people a little aback at first, but in the end they accept it about me.
I was looking at your pictures, and, you know something? You're pretty cute. You really are. And you know something else? (Here comes the honesty:) You would look even cuter with just a touch of plastic surgery. My wife had it done, and she's never looked back. Your twenties is a period where you should be dating like crazy, figuring out exactly the type of individual you want to spend the rest of your life with. You deserve to feel self-confident about your looks, not listing yourself in your profile as "Jewish...look at me." I personally think you're an amazing person, so I really do hope you take this the right way. Just know you've got a fan and friend in your corner...you can hit me later.
Sincerely,
Eric
It's like a checklist of offensiveness. Bonus points for anti-Semitism and insulting your own wife!
Any ideas how I can make this guy into one of those internet micro-celebrity douchebags?

I have jumped on your bandwagon to transform him into a viral abomination! Behold: I updated my blog. Possibly I was a bit harsh in my own ranting critique, but I have indignation on your behalf and not nearly as much shame as a good Catholic ought to have.
