A look into the Spam folder
Free Spam!
Once again, I think its time for me to go through the old Spam folder and see what amazing things have been popping up in the world of processed breakfast meats. Since my latest purge I’ve managed to accumulated 230 new Spam messages so here… we… go:
Willa Roberson writes in the subject line “Please Her Tonite,” and the saddest thing about this is the spelling of tonight versus tonite. Is it wrong that of all things that concern me about this message it is the fact that the Spammer has a different spelling method than I do?
mjp8582 has decided to let me in on the secret of “Strength and Largeness”… One could be naive enough to think this is a message about exercise and fitness, but come on, who are you kidding. Especially with a subject line that reads “What’s your skeleton in the closet?”
Anita Blackman has sent me a message offering to sell me her brand new Rolex. Rolex’s aren’t even my style let alone false advertising and internet cons. Purge.
This is new, Caroline Richter has sent me a Spam message offering me a job in a “Progressive American Office located in Thailand…” Of all of the creepy things you could find in your Spam folder, I think a manipulate invite to the land of the ladyboys is is near the top.
The last message I find truly interesting is from Emory Thayer. Emory has sent me a warning about diseases, many of them. According to Emory all I need to do is “Click this link and your health problems will be solved!” I’m skeptical to say the least, but I do like the ironic approach of getting people to click a link about diseases only to find that they have infected their computers with a virus….
That’s it for now. A couple of random thoughts this morning: U-Dub Huskies and Gonzaga Bulldogs won last night in the NCAA tourney so my brackets aren’t on life support yet. Will be spending the weekend in catching up on some movies I have never seen straight through – Crank (2006) Viki Christina Barcelona (08) and Sex and the City (08).
