PICK ME UP
May 13th, 2007 Posted in Amusing Events“You’re single aren’t you Jack?” Ben asked me one day when we were at work. “Yes, why?” I responded, inquisitive as to the reason for the question.
At that point, I was put in touch with a friend of Ben’s at IPC Media who then emailed me a few questions to answer for her Pick Me Up Please feature, so I sent back my responses and a particularly bad photo. I didn’t tell a soul.
Then, about six weeks later, I sent out a copy of the April 12th edition of Pick Me Up magazine, anonymously, to each person in my close social circle. Here is the article:
IPC Media told me that they would forward all enquiries to me, with photos. I was hopeful that, considering that the magazine is called Pick Me Up and that the readership reaches half a million people per issue, there might just be a flicker of interest. How many enquiries were there? How many declarations of interest? None. Zilch. Zero.
I am now planning my suicide.
