Most of the spam crowding my inbox relates to the typical drug peddling that goes on these days. However, when I receive spam from various dating services and pornography sites, I like to read them the my lovely wife, hyperjes. The idea here is to make her mad with jealousy and lust due to my being persued by so many suitoresses…es. Basically, I thrive on trouble.
But the spam I got tonight must be shared with a larger audience. Behold:
Starts out fairly mundane, no? You’ve seen this one a million times, regardless of your gender or sexual preference. Hell, hyperjes gets offers to enlarge her penis on a regular basis. But this is where our little mass mailing takes a turn toward the bizarre:
Come again?
We have decided that whe we start our band, the first album will be entitled “radio melon polka racer super block.”
The email goes on to inform me that:
Don’t read that above quote too many times, because it may begin to make sense to you. It seems to be about robot cats belonging to a girl named Sarah. She either owns the Madam Abyss Grill, or she and her teats are avoiding the abbey, opting to give a gift to the lodge owner. I’m not entirely certain where the fjord comes in.
But wait! One last message must be imparted! This is the key!!
So there you go. The message is simple. Learn Linux. I don’t think that I need to say anything else, quick wings.
I’m not completely sure, Lynne. This is the first time I’ve seen it like this. My working theory is that it’s a way to deceive spam blockers. If you were just a computer program, that might just look like an actual email from someone worth corresponding with. Notice how the nonsense words are broken up into “sentences” and “paragraphs”? I think that’s so it looks more legit than your standard advertisement. Just a theory, but it makes sense.
I’ve also noticed a great deal more 1ee+ 5p34|< in my inbox lately, espousing the wonders of some new drug called /i4gr4. I also may consider 3nl4rging my p3||i5, or perhaps somehow g3++1||g b1gg3r br345+5. I imagine that spam blockers designed to scan subject lines don’t speak 'leet yet. At least not on AOHell.
