Jacqueline Kim email
This story seems to pop up once a year: someone sends a phenomenally asinine email to a small circle of friends, the email somehow escapes into the Internet wilds, people forward it endlessly to their friends ("check out this asshole!"), the original emailer suffers well-deserved humiliation. (See also Peter Chung.) In this rendition, a young female professional in Chicago named Jacqueline Kim emailed thirty friends an account of her first date with a day trader named Casey. She gives the guy grades on his looks, haircut, car, manners, etc.; describes the evening's events in detail; and concludes, "The car, the money, the job, the cute apartment, the boat--which by the way only seats six people, so I really don't consider that really amazing... I can tell you now unless he cuts his hair and sends me gifts, it won't lead to anything." Read the complete Jacqueline Kim email here. Fucked Company has a merciless discussion thread about the incident. (Link snagged from Six Different Ways.)
