What gets model submissions deleted

It's been a rather interesting day dealing with potential models. I received an email tonight from someone in Portland, Oregon asking if I was going to "screw him." As in, screw him over. Keep in mind that this was his introductory email to me as a potential model. He didn't include a photo of himself (never a good sign). I'm not sure what is being taught in school about comprehension of the written word, but there are some very stupid people out there.

I place a lot of ads to attract potential models. The ad contains a lot of information. My ad is so good that sometimes other scouts and studios "borrow" my copy.

The ad clearly states potential pay, and where to go for more information (the Fierce website).

Yet, Mr. Portland, who emailed me about getting screwed, just felt it would be faster to dash off a moronic missive rather than taking the time to READ THE AD (what a concept) and do his homework.

A lot of people have the attitude of, "I want it now, so give it to me now, and I don't want to have to work for it." People, if you respond to ANY classified ad for ANY job, read the fucking ad and do your fucking homework about the business you are applying to. Do you need someone to wipe your ass, too? For some reason, Mr. Portland could not understand what the ad said to do, which says, "for more information, go to www.fiercescouting.com." Fierce Scouting has the most comprehensive website for potential models who want to get into the industry. Other studios and scouts "borrow" my copy to use as their own (one disreputable scout in Austin went so far as to copy and paste ALL of the copy off of my site and even used my graphics for his own site).

Such thievery doesn't bother me. What does bother me, however, are people like Mr. Portland who are so completely stupid they send me really obnoxious email and expect a response. I don't bother to respond to such stupidity because I would never represent such a stupid person to my client studios. As if I am going to send Mr. Portland to the first or second most popular gay studios on the Internet.

That would be stupid of me.

I'm tired of thinking about stupid people, so let's watch this video instead:
