Do you like to pretend that you're famous and important? Do you constantly stare at your inbox because you're expecting a pile of emails from fans? If you're nodding along to these questions, then you might as well grab your wallet now — because there's an iPhone app which will feed your fantasies.
The app's called Fan Mail and you can buy it from the Apple App Store for a dollar.
After you download Fan Mail and enter a few details — such as your name, occupation, and email address — you will start regularly receiving "messages of encouragement and adoration from all of the people who are inspired and awestruck by you." These messages will naturally be as silly as the faux people who supposedly penned them, but who cares about that part when your inbox could be full of emails with subject lines like these:
- Fan Club?
- So important
- You're an inspiration
- Autograph?
- A feature on you
- Lotta Love
- You should have more
- DA BEST!
- Wazzzzupppp????
- A french fan
- My brother is wrong
- My favorite
Ok, so perhaps these subject lines seem a lot like those you'll find inside your spam folder, but at least the related messages are sincere-sounding:
Of course it's worth noting that Fan Mail is a one-way street — you can't exactly interact with your newly created fan base. But what kind of famous or important person would have time to actually reply to letters from groupies anyway, right?
