Why does this surprise you? Whores post their stupid wishlists on Twatter all the time, which means that some stupid, desperate son'va'bitch is buying shit for them.
And it's not just ONE whore, it's 50% or more of them, which means there are 50% or more suckers out there who have nothing better to burn their money on dog treats for said whore's mutt; or furniture for the house that is about to get repo'd; or a new video game system for her suitcase pimp.
Soooo, why does $200 in cash money surprise you? I'm floundered by the fact that some of them are even pulling the "be my Valentine" rap with this shit, as though you mean a fucking thing to them after you buy them their $1500 Macbook Air or something.
Dumb fucking fanbois...Christ.
Isn't this a symptom of the interwebs? In the "Golden Era", if you didn't live within driving distance of LA or NYC, your chances of meeting a pw were pretty slim, outside of the stripper circuit. The most interaction you'd have would be joining a fanclub. Chances are she's never see your letters herself. But with the advent of of the interwebs, from the old days of Yahoo! Groups to social networking the illusion of interaction feels more "real". The occasional mass "private" message makes the mark...er, fan, feel "special"...singled out, as it were. He's got a chance, so he thinks. Which makes for nothing but laughs for those of us who are able to see who is behind the curtain pulling the strings and making the fanbois dance.
