Sign #423 of the Impending Apocalypse

From Wired News:

If someone you recently tried to pick up at a bar told you to e-mail them at a papernapkin.net address, don't get too excited about your forthcoming romantic prospects. That's because any e-mail sent to any papernapkin.net address returns the following bad news: "Nice to hear from you. Ha ha, just kidding. Actually, this is a rejection letter. The person who gave you this email address does not want to have anything to do with you."

Why do we have to take the fast food approach to everything!? Are we so lazy and lacking in compassion that we need to do this? It was bad enough when people gave a fake telephone number; this just adds insult to injury. If I were given one of these rejections, I would take comfort in the fact that the person who gave it to me was so clearly (a) developmentally stunted and (b) not worth my time.
