Snowden set back public perception of white guys with glasses and facial hair

Another disastrous Snowden tragedy is his affect on the public perception of white males who wear glasses and have facial hair. It's going to be harder for them to be accepted by their new neighbors, because it's well known that he was a "bad neighbor". Apartment managers will probably start screening out glasses-wearing, goateed white guys or will require that they shave. It will be harder for them to find affordable housing or to be elected to the neighborhood association board.

Snowden's no hero folks. Breathe deeply. Think about it.

Apartment managers will start screening out English speakers or will require that they not ever speak English as part of the lease agreement.

It won't be his lying to Congress that gets him in trouble it will be his Snowdenesque glasses and goatee.
