Nope, can't find anything improper about this e-mail at all, which reads like a totally on-the-level open letter to an up-and-coming public figure:

VP CANDIDATE SARAH PALINS HUSBAND IS THE HOTTEST THING TO HIT POLITICS

NEW YORK BASED RUM COMPANY WANTS TO
MAKE ALASKAS FIRST MAN, AMERICAS NEXT
SUPERMODEL WITH BILLBOARD- AD CAMPAIGN


Dear Todd:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my congratulations on being the nation’s “newest hottie.” We at Caribaya Rums are searching for a product supermodel to be placed on billboards and ads across the nation.

We would like to make an offer to you about representing our rum products. We at Caribaya Rums think that you would become a sex symbol to the millions of women that enjoy our product, as well as become the new face in the advertising world. Even though you live in the land of cold, we are sure that you would melt the tons of hearts that see this ad.

Celebrities and politicians provide the best exposure for product sales. Look what former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole did for Viagra. If your wife moves to Washington , you might be looking for a new job. Our ads appear on the back of every New York City bus.

Since our product comes from the tropical islands, our Madison Avenue team feels that a possible ad can have you revealing your bare chest, dressed in Hawaiian boxer shorts, surrounded by our rum.
Thank you for your anticipated review of this request. Should you accept an offer from us we know that Alaska ’s “first dude” will be the most popular spouse in the world.

Sincerely,

Martin Silver. President and CEO


Setting up the advertising@snappedshot.com address has consistenly proven to be one of the funniest things I've ever done.

Which isn't saying much, of course.

I'm not exactly known for my comedy routine, as Rooster is persistently happy to remind me.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

Cool.

PS: This Martin guy sounds really gay (not that there's anything wrong with that)
