I got an email today from "Maria" who identifies herself as a standup comic/hacker. This person has hacked into my emails and website, drew a mustache on my bio picture and made demands that I send my "How to Be Funny" products or "Maria" will express the full extent of her hacking abilities and destroy my sites.
Wow.
This is the first time I've been threatened to make someone funny. I
know these are dire times -- but are other professions getting these
sorts of threats?
"Give me a face lift Mr. Surgeon -- or I make your Facebook page look like a before picture."
The first thing I noticed is just how unfunny the email was. (Not even an attempt at humor; why not some ironic alliteration like "Humor Hacker?")
The email ended with a smiley face emoticon. Seriously - a smiley face? How hack is that?
Even
if I did send my materials -- what kind of comic would he/she be? You
aren't going to do well with an audience when you start with, "Laugh or I
will steal your identity."
Being
a hack is easy. If you take it seriously -- comedy is hard. The
message is -- websites are replaceable, but nobody can hack my sense of
humor.
So, thank you "Maria," for giving me a great story.

The kids a little slow,
Your emails all assailed,
Adult diaper secret unveiled.
What do you do with a problem like Mariiiiiaaaa ?,
what do you do when shes gonna hack your stufffff ?
Sorry :) I couldnt resist.
No comedy is easy.You can tell your funny because everyone is laughing.If your not funny, like Maria, you can tell because everyone is laughing.
ReplyDeleteI think Maria is pretty funny already and you should invite her around and inform the (F)unny (B)usiness (I)nstitute to comment on her material, just in case she has talking doll called Chuckie handy with a meat cleaver, and grew up in a room with no sharp edges or things, and small vulnerable animals.
I looked for the mustache, it was horrible. I had to download the photo and blow it up 100 times but there is was, a Brazilian waxers nightmare.It looked so real. You can get wax for mustaches from Germany.
