The TechCrunch review is golden. Like the Guardian critic, I thought it was a parody and found myself waiting for the dulcet, reassuring tones of the Sarcastic Gamer guy to suddenly commandeer the narration. Tones which, alas, never came.
Aside from all the technical objections, do you really want to be physically attracted to your own e-mail? Dealing with spam is distracting enough.

So who’s got the nude patch?
MadisonConservative on July 19, 2007 at 8:24 AM
Arrg, no plans for a Mac version! Oh, the pain of being a Mac user!
Alex K on July 19, 2007 at 8:27 AM
Does this mean all those “enhancing” and “enlarging” e-mails will be in the form of steroid monkeys clamouring for pills?
Vaporman87 on July 19, 2007 at 8:48 AM
Wow! That was exciting!
Got any drying paint that needs watching?
/sarcasm mode off
TwinkietheKid on July 19, 2007 at 8:48 AM
Oh.
My.
God!
Techcrunch is clearly holding back in it’s review of this, um, er, application.

Uh…one name says it all 3D mailbox? Isn’t that at least two names?

Hot chicks, fat dudes, and sharks. Where do I sign up?
mojowire on July 19, 2007 at 9:01 AM
Is this iphone compatible??
I want sexy email on the subway.
e-pirate on July 19, 2007 at 9:07 AM
Yeah the fat dude running towards you was really a selling point for me. Just what I want scaring the hell out of me before I’ve had my first cup of coffee.
Kowboy on July 19, 2007 at 9:09 AM
Reminds me: Will “Second Life” be offering the Kossacks the ability to wear virutal tinfoil on their characters’ heads during the virtual Kos Konvention?
HockeyTemper on July 19, 2007 at 9:11 AM
…I don’t want my e-mail to pulse, though feeding spam to sharks would be fun, once…then, not so much.

living proof most programmers still haven’t kissed a girl
EricPWJohnson on July 19, 2007 at 9:24 AM
Was ready to make some sort of snarky response about how it would treat spam, but it actually looks pretty cool. You can cut the fat guys out of it, too.
How soon will Amanda Marcotte decry it as misogynist, and the Silk Pony’s wife speaking up for him on his beliefs?
William Teach on July 19, 2007 at 9:25 AM
Woops, sorry, fat guys are standard, you can choose to see either girls or guys for email. Will Silky choose the guys, to see if their hair is better?
William Teach on July 19, 2007 at 9:30 AM
Reminds me of the Doom sysadmin tool that came out a few years ago. Running processes on a system would show up as monsters from Doom, the more CPU or memory the process used the bigger the monster would be. To stop a process, you’d shoot it with your shotgun.

So I can finally meet that hot chick that wants to sell me interesting stock tips and sexual enhancement drugs.
(Damn your spam filter– it’s ruined my joke!)
Nethicus on July 19, 2007 at 9:39 AM
No, I think that he’ll pick the girls so that way he can gloat over how much prettier he is than them.
mundayr on July 19, 2007 at 9:42 AM
That is very simply the dumbest thing I’ve seen all week. And I’m at Myrtle Beach, SC this week – HOME of dumb shite.
tickleddragon on July 19, 2007 at 9:43 AM
As a tech matter, you want your email program to be as thin as those chicks. This one’s as fat and ugly as those weird looking dudes. Windows doesn’t like stuff like this.

Mental Health Alert:
Anybody who would be interested in “clubbing” with their e-mail needs serious help.
highhopes on July 19, 2007 at 9:50 AM
I wouldn’t take this if it was FREE, Oh it is, well they would have to pay me big bucks to put this crap on my computer!
It looks worse than a pop – up trojan.
That says it all
abinitioadinfinitum on July 19, 2007 at 9:51 AM
Those are “incredible graphics”?? Yeesh, needs some work.
4shoes on July 19, 2007 at 9:55 AM
Wait till the jihadis go 3D, then we’re in big trouble.
It looked more like double D email to me.
Mojave Mark on July 19, 2007 at 9:57 AM
And are themselves morbidly obese.
infidel4life on July 19, 2007 at 10:39 AM
Seriously?
No – seriously? This was … serious?
No. Way.
Well, I can die happy. I’ve now officially seen everything.
Professor Blather on July 19, 2007 at 11:27 AM
WOW!…so now I can enhance the 590 pieces of SPAM I receive every day to include GRAPHICS and SIM SCENES?? …and it will only cost me 4-5 extra hours of email reading time per day? What a deal!!!
(but “free” is too much for this…)
landlines on July 19, 2007 at 11:29 AM
Yeah, looks like something out of 1997.
madne0 on July 19, 2007 at 11:43 AM
They should shoot their marketers – not even a URL in the ad.
jeffshultz on July 19, 2007 at 12:57 PM
This would be a great idea of all mail was personal mail from one of the many hot chicks, sexy milfs, or steaming hot librarians, you’ve met at the club. In reality, all mail is spam mail from fat guys in China doing online pharmacy spamming.
Rather than make this useless garbage, why not make an email program that actually blocks spam from reaching your account? I have yet to find such a program. No one has been able to create such a program.
Make that and I will buy it.
jihadwatcher on July 19, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Sorry, but This is the best e-mail ever.

If you use this program, you will never use a “Pop-up Trojan”.
Tim Burton on July 19, 2007 at 2:06 PM
As long as I don’t have to hook it up to my balls, it might have some nice G rated possibilities. Stupider concepts have become awesome ideas.
csdeven on July 19, 2007 at 3:08 PM
You’re assuming I’m not already!
See previous.
RightWinged on July 19, 2007 at 3:59 PM
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Ryan Gandy on July 19, 2007 at 6:08 PM
God help us when the ad holograms start appearing next to your computer… hawking the enlargement of selected organs with preternatural demonstrations.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
profitsbeard on July 19, 2007 at 9:37 PM
I think were going down a slippery slope here.
