Auto-Message Embarrassment

So I signed up for the Obama mailing list because I wanted to make sure that I knew where to vote when it came time to do it. I knew that this would mean I would get millions of auto-messages soliciting for donations or with messages of campaign jargon. Still, I wanted to remain in the loop. I don't usually check these emails because I don't have any money to donate anyway, as much as I would love to. Today, however, I am sick and bored in bed so while waiting for an email from my professor, I browsed through a few of these emails. They were all the standard stuff but a lot of them were about winning the chance to meet Obama and Clinton at a dinner. I thought that was what this email was going to be about but then I read it:



I thought it was a tad presumptuous on the part of the campaign to just send me a message with nothing but a dollar amount. I also quite enjoy Deputy Campaign Manager Julianna Smoot's last name. So, I shot off a few quick emails, thinking no one would ever actually see them:
Clearly I was reveling in the awesomeness that was her last name. I was just amusing myself as I was very, very bored. I got an auto-reply email pretty soon after I sent them. It was just a standard thank-you-for-your-email blah blah blah as was to be expected. However,  a couple of hours later, I received this email:




I'm so glad I didn't call her Smooty like I wanted to.
