spam, spam, spam, spam

I have discovered a mail in my spam folder with the intriguing subject line of "Hardcore Meds for Low $$ Added Mentioned Wife". Does this mean that you get a wife to go with your Viagra, sorry, V1@gra? And where has she been mentioned? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

You get a reduction in price if you mention you wife?
You get free money if you mention your wife?
You get hardcore maids (meds being a typo?) if you mention your wife?

Figuring out what they're saying is, um, hard....

Spammer is adding that he mentioned someone's wife. Probabaly in another spam email series, episode 3 or 4, that you will now have to order on VHS, it not being available yet on DVD.

FLYING DUTCHMAN SPAM!

I think I've found the title for my next album...

Damn. I hate when that happens.

*gets out credit card*

On the subject, I remember reading an interesting thing recently where somebody actually tried to respond to all their spam and purchase the advertised penis-enlarging underpants, Real Live University Diplomas, etc, and discovered that, in many cases, IT WASN'T POSSIBLE (er, to buy them, not to enlarge your penis with underpants). The email addresses weren't valid, the postal addresses didn't exist, and so on. Which implies that not only is eighty percent of the world's internet traffic made up of spam, but that much of it is REDUNDANT SPAM, forlornly circling the interbets. Forever.

Hrmm, this was meant to be up there....

Maybe the spammer's wife mentioned hardcore meds with low $$ added, and now he wants to tell the entire world about it?

I'd certainly want to tell the world if that happened.
