Subject: Some people lead the dullest lives...

...but that doesn't mean the rest of us do.

From http://www.silicon.com/news/168/1/6024.html?nl=d20030917 by Will
Sturgeon:

come on Mr X, really: "...and as most people do,
the wife and I filmed one of our sex sessions."

Believe it or not Mr Sturgeon, most of the world's digicam owning
population really is young enough and interesting enough to consider
that a very worthwhile first use for their new technological
acquisition. I'm sorry your life isn't quite as much fun as ours :)

Regards,
Denny

Denny,
Great feedback - it's put a smile on our faces - though I
can't help thinking somebody whose domain name is UKfetish.info
is perhaps still not quite 'mainstream' in terms of sexual
preferences... though whatever rocks your boat.

Seriously though, thank you very much for writing in. It is one
of the most original pieces of feedback - and one of the most
interesting insights into the minds of our readers - that we
have ever received.

All the best,

Will

Good lord.

/me begins to wonder if they're running that website from their bedroom in their parents' house.

note sure if you get the weekly round up from silicon.com.. but you're in that too...

A man, who for reasons of discretion we will call Mr X, bought a new camcorder (http://www.silicon.com/news/168/1/6024.html).

The first thing he did with it was record himself indulging in marital relations with his wife. The second thing he did was make a tape of his daughter's birthday party. Without changing the tape. You can see what's coming...

The editorial team were rightly incredulous at this particular blunder and posed the question whether people actually did this sort of thing.

His reply came in an email from another reader, who we will call Denny... because that's actually his name.

The email bore the subject header "Some people live the dullest lives..." and Denny's email address bore an intriguing ukfetish.info domain host.

Denny spluttered: "Believe it or not most of the world's digicam owning population really is young enough and interesting enough to consider that a very worthwhile first use for their new technological acquisition. I'm sorry your life isn't quite as much fun as ours."

Well that told us. Though the Round-Up wonders whether Denny - and his ukfetish.info domain name really is the Everyman he imagines. The Round-Up is going out on a limb here to suggest that perhaps he's a little more experimental than most.

But it did get us wondering whether Mr X and Denny's practice was a little more widespread than we first thought... "most of the world's digicam-owning population," he'd said...

And then right on cue a member of silicon.com's editorial team, who hadn't been party to this exchange, entered the office and announced he'd just bought himself a new camcorder. And upon reading this he'll be able to work out why we've been giving him funny looks and making 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink - how's the new camcorder...' type comments.


not entirely sure how one splutters in an e-mail.. but still they're journalists bless 'em

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Yeah, someone else forwarded that to me... I was a bit confused about the spluttering too :)
