Philadelphia cream cheese is for more then just your bagel now. 😉

Can we make bagel a euphemism now?

My coworkers were talking about this guy yesterday! (We’re in the suburbs.) We were trying to figure out how such a specific and bizarre fetish could form.

Still makes no sense how you go from “I’m lonely” –\> “I’ll masturbate with…cheese!” –\> “I’ll roam the streets in my car exposing myself to ladies and beg them to touch me with cheese, while wearing cheese on my genitals”

I was going to suggest Brie (warmed of course) but cream cheese would make more sense considering the location.

I read about this guy the other day in the Week. If you think being out of shape makes meeting women difficult, a cheese fetish is not going to help.

It looks like he’s just looking for his Swiss Miss. (Heading to the airport to go to Ohio for a week. The prospect of cold is making me want hot cocoa)

I don’t like cheese at the best of times. This is not likely to improve my opinion of the stuff.

In my part of Ohio (southwest), we went from a 50 degree high yesterday to a 28 degree high today. Welcome to Ohio. :rolleyes:

Well, for one thing, it’s a copyvio. This clearly came from another website. It’s also probably spam.

What they get out of this type of spam is hard to say. The best I can come up with is they are testing to see if there are real humans here or trying to see if they can get away with copying articles, with a plan to copy a fake article promoting their own wares later.

Actually, I just wanted to post a funny story in the news, and I linked to the original article. While I do a mean robot dance, I am most assuredly not a bot. What I hoped to get out of posting a funny article was for people to get a chuckle. Sounds like you could use one.

Copying and pasting an entire article is a violation of the publisher’s copyright, whether or not you “just wanted to post a funny story in the news.” Linking to the original article doesn’t make it OK.
