Citing a whirlwind month and a half in which he leaked classified details of a massive government surveillance operation, secretly fled from the United States to Hong Kong, and became a figure of national and global intrigue, sources confirmed Thursday that the life of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is just straight-up fun, exciting, and full of action. Snowden, who was granted asylum in Russia after exposing the NSAs PRISM data-mining programwhich reports indicate is pretty much straight out of a goddamn Mission: Impossible movieappears to have successfully evaded U.S. authorities attempting to extradite him on federal charges, in what many agree is as cool as it sounds. Sources also verified that the 30-year-olds life is sure as hell a lot more interesting and eventful than pretty much anyone elses right now, no question about that. First, he spies on people as part of a top-secret government program, and if that wasnt crazy enough, he then blows the lid on the whole operation and goes into hiding in Hong Kong, said 34-year-old actuary Jason Leavitt of Kinston, NC. Come on, how fucking fun is that? Essentially, hes this young guy flying around the world, living as a fugitive, and doing whatever he wants with no consequences whatsoever. The guy is basically a walking, talking British spy novel and living every moment like its his last. And on top of that, hes famous and his face is all over TV and the internet, Leavitt continued. Beats my day-to-day, I can tell you that much. Given his current situation, those familiar with the fact that Snowden also has this gorgeous girlfriend whos a pole dancer for Christs sake said that youd be nuts not to want to walk in Snowdens shoes and experience the constant thrill-a-minute ride that is his daily life. Moreover, Barack Obamathe fucking President of the United States, sources stressedholds press conferences and meetings with foreign leaders to talk about this guy. Must be pretty neat being on the front of newspapers and stuff and having everyone care about everything you say and do, said 39-year-old Ethan Gurzau of Philadelphia, adding that if the past month is any indication, Snowdens life will only get more awesome. Thatll never happen to me. And its not like his life wasnt sweet before this either. He was making 200k a year working at a cushy job and living in Hawaii. I mean, are you kidding me? When reached for comment, authorities were unable speculate on Snowdens future plans given that it would be too difficult to pinpoint where someone so unpredictable and spontaneous and mysterious would end up. Officials went on to say they wouldnt be surprised if he ends up sleeping with a supermodel or stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre. I honestly cant wait to get up every morning and check online to see what hes up to, said 26-year-old Boston-based real estate agent Samantha Upton, adding that theres no telling what unbelievable adventure Snowden will go on next. Ive never even been past Missouri. Meanwhile, this guy is jetting from China to Moscow while the CIA chases after him and watches his every move. Thats insane. I want to do that, Upton added. I want to do what hes doing. At press time, officials were unable to confirm Snowdens current activities, though sources noted that whatever hes doing, its probably mind-blowing.
