A Virgins Plea Mailbag

Matthew,

I think you did a hell of a job in terms of marketing this guy. No matter
this guy was a surreal character set, you make people believed in the story.
This type of shit takes skills in the virtual world of internet. I think you
will become a very great marketer and if you are not already in the field
then I wish you all the best.

I don’t want to be nasty, but this whole thing was terrible. Now, I’m not a virgin, but I am a guy whose heart was destroyed by a woman who slept around, and I really felt for the person who I am now told was completely fictional!!!! Anyway, it was a shitty idea.

You have no idea how interesting this is to me. I found out about the site on the 15th I think and the original story was not as fascinating as how fast that counter was rolling when I was hitting refresh, it seemed like there were new people every second.

I had my doubts about the whole story but it didn’t seem to be too unbelievable. However since it is so easy for fraud on the internet it is really surprising how many people jumped into the story with very little reason to believe it is true.

I don’t think that this makes you a dick or a genius, one thing is for sure, you and I, and I guess a few million people have too much time on our hands. A real genius would use the site, which already has huge traffic, to make some money. If you can earn it, you deserve it.

You must be pretty busy with all the emails, but if you could, I’m sure a lot of people would like to see some stats, like how many messages you are receiving, and how fast they are coming.

Hey Matt,

Just wanted to congratulate you on getting so many people all worked
up. I saw your site last week and passed it around (as most people
did) to different people I thought would either find it funny or have
some kind of moral objection. Sex is a hot topic with my friends since
we are all around 18-22 years of age and most people are still trying
to figure out what they want.

I just found it funny that people got so personally involved with you
and your story, and then ditched you in a second. Or actually got
angry at you, like if you were their best buddy who had lied to them.
Makes you wonder what kind of a sad life we all live. Mind you i
wouldn’t be any better because I’m emailing you aswell, which would
show the personal bond I have made to you too.

All in all good job. I don’t care if its true or not. Thanks for
providing us all with a little scandal we’ll all remember into
retirement.

u r the man dude fuck the Toronto Sun Reporter they probably are  virgin and they got jelous that u was about to get laid and they’re not… man keep it up and make a similar site and u see how idiot people are…

Hi,
Its too bad you weren’t a sociology student, this site would have made for a very interesting study. I’m forwarding some of the comments on to you from people that I sent the link to:

What a fag! I hope he never gets laid. Do it yourself you lazy shit!!!

Poor bstard. Now 2.5 million people know he’s a virgin and has to bribe a chick for sx….

great idea

Its interesting to see the dichotomy of answers. Someone should run with it and make it into a MA thesis. Just a thought.

PS. Thanks for making people take a second to think. Too many people take things for granted. No one seems to realize that 80% of what we see and read in the news is manufactured. People need to take control of the information out there. CNN is no longer the trusted news service it once was.

Very nicely done!

I’m not really sure how to feel about this gag… but
I love a good burn as much as anybody. Still it’s nice
to see that somewhere near 3 million people are
willing to come together to get some guy who doesn’t
technically exist laid. Perhaps there’s some hope for
the rest of us compu-geeks, and the lesser laid
individuals of the world!

Once again, Nice marketing scheme!
