FailBlog creators unveil new site: Emails From Crazy People
On her recent visit to Seattle, All Things Digital's Kara Swisher toured the offices of I Can Has Cheezburger and comes away saying the business is "kind of wacky."
Founder Ben Huh -- whose network of two dozen or so comedy Web sites now attracts more than 6.5 million page views a day -- discusses the Seattle tech community (It is tighter knit than the Valley); the company's profitability; Hollywood; Martha Stewart and whether he has any plans to sell out (He does not). Swisher also discovers yet another site from the company: Emails From Crazy People.
Like the name suggests, the site is designed to showcase oddball emails and letters. Here's one example:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. XXXXX
We are writing to you as members of the Evergreen Homeowner’s Association about a concern that has occupied all our minds since you moved into this neighborhood. We are a congregate group of good Christian and God fearing people. The display you have set up on the outer section of your lot has us a bit concerned as the statue appears to be a type of Pagan worshipping symbol, unlike the other lawn decorations in our neighborhood. Shirley Whitley, a neighbor of yours says that this is a Satanic being and that you may be involved in the Occult. We have all noticed strange goings on around the neighborhood. There are flashing lights in the sky and numerous dead animals in the road. We understand that you are a homeowner, but if you will read your declaration of restrictions, obscene or vulgar displays on your property are not allowed. We insist that you remove this questionable display at once. Our children are not to be influenced by Devil worship and deviant behavior.

And it is not just emails. The company is partnerning with Seattle-based Entertonement to showcase "crazy voice mails" too.
