Hello to all the Brian Chen’s out there.

This email concerns bedawgy@altavista.com and his website: “Brian Chen Is Sexy” (http://circuitboy.tripod.com), the #2 hit if you Google: Brian Chen

My name, like all of you, is Brian Chen. You can see where this is going.

To the owner of Brian Chen Is Sexy, bedawgy@altavista.com, I actually have followed your website since it’s inception as your school project (much to my dismay) a long, long time ago, almost 10 years now. Now that it is almost a decade later, and you must be around twenty-something by now, I am simply asking you to please take down your webpage.

I didn’t ask you to take it down all these years because you seem like the type of guy that would probably think I am a “biter”, and I am just hatin’ on you that you are “baggin’ on peeps”.

But please, on behalf of all Brian Chen’s out there, please take down your site.

If you don’t there’s nothing I can do. I’m not even giving you a reason why you should. It’s not a bad site. I’m just asking you to take it down. It’ll be on Google forever anyway. But please take it down.

There are probably a couple thousand of us Brian Chen’s out there. Maybe we could someday all get together. I’m sure if we took a vote, 75% of the Brian Chen’s would ask you to take it down.

Good luck to all of you guys in your life with our shared namesake.

Dr. Brian Chen
