I get about 10 spams a day.But recently I’ve noticed a change in the content (well, a change in the subject lines anyway; who reads the content?.) I used to get lots of offers to improve my manhood. But now I’m getting lots of pharmacy stuff, and credit bureau stuff. Is this a general trend, or am I suddenly a month older, and past the age for the porno sites to be interested in me? Is there a god of spam out there who decrees what flavor of junk to send out? And am I doomed forever to have the same size organ, or will next week’s spam offer me another chance at salvation? I’m getting worried—I really really really want 10,000 emails promising to fulfill my fantasies. ---

It does seem to go in waves of topic. People where after me to enlarge my penis for a long time. Now they want to give me a home mortgage loan. Or discuss our meeting on whatever day. And verify my credit card information. Spammers don’t think my penis is such a big issue anymore. Big issue (heh) ---

I’m getting a lot of spams promoting Rolex watches lately. Until these f\*ckers catch on and do what the other spammers do (i.e. r0l3x w@tcheS) , my email filters are killing them all off quite nicely. ---

Well, now that you have obtained a larger member because you faithfully followed the instructions from their previous emails…they now realize that you need a bigger place to house that monster…hence the loan offers! ---

I’ve also noticed an increase in messages with no subject line and no sender listed in the preview. I get piles of spam at work. I assume it’s because my email is posted in our website. ---

Does this mean I should be wearing a Rolex on my wang while watching hot teen lesbo action as I wait for my home loan to go through? 😃 ---

yeah, while you’re ordering online drugs and software at reduced prices. ---

I haven’t looked at the Rolex offers. Would that be a leather band, or one of those stretchy metal jobbies? ---

At home we are averaging about one a day of offers from nice men from some African nation that are dying to cut us in on a perfectly legitimate business deal… ---

I still find it funny that I (female) kept getting the penis-enlargement offers, while my brother got the “bigger boobs naturally” ads.
