What stuck out were the subject lines…
“Obama steps down from presidential race”
“Fuel prices start to fall for the first time”
They might as well have said…
“The Pope shits in the woods”
“Bears are Catholic”
It would have taken about half of an iq point to realize that I could easilly check these two pieces of information out by going to almost any news source. I found them amusing more than anything else (hence this not being in the pit)
Well, as usual, my penis is still too small, and I apparently need a new watch.
I don’t get any spam messages at work, and my Gmail account filters out damned near everything. I did just go into my Gmail spam box and some of the stuff in there is bizarre, with subject lines that are nothing like the body text, and links to God knows where. I ain’t clicking on them.
Subject - text
Exposed secrets of American Idol - Kentucky Fried Chicken found to be laced with a drug that makes black men impotent.
Nigger slang derails McCain’s campaign - NASA discovers unknown planet in solar system, alien lifeforms likely
Boy crossing street collides with deer Video T-shirt - Buy a house, get a FREE car
Demi Moore’s baby suffers lung infection - Girl trains monkey to give tongue service video.
What a planet…
I just got this one:
Bush down to 8 friends on MySpace
:dubious:
I got a great one today:
** nazi Toddlers Ruined My Birthday**
and the one line of text above the included link:
McDonald’s Happy Meals In San Francisco To Include Gay Marriage License
I’m not dumb enough to click the link.
I haven’t opened them, but I’m getting a lot of spams inviting me to see Angelina Jolie naked. And then there’s the ever popular ones about how I have a stupid face.
The best email subject lines I’ve gotten:
puny telekinesis
and
ketchup surveillant
That second one just makes me wonder (1) is it the ketchup that is the surveillant or is someone else a surveillant of ketchup? and (2) what/who is the ketchup watching, or why is someone watching the ketchup?
Wow - you got not one but TWO band names, there!
I got the best one, though:
One hot white girl injured in tsunami disaster - Bush and McCain to dance in puppet show
I think you’ll note that it’s actually “Anjelina” Jolie. What, were they worried about being sued?
I keep getting a lot of Russian/Cyrillic spams. . .
. . . which is good because I’m trying to learn Russian.
Thanks for the free reading practice, guys!
Tripler
Hell if I know what they mean yet, but at least I can practice phonetics.
For several weeks my spam has not been pharmeceutical in nature, but centered on RePliCa WaTcHeS L@@K!!! Rolex $150.00US and so forth.
Today however I had about half a dozen that seemed like gruesome headlines.
Boy 4 rips off sister’s ear, Man dies in bizarre gardening accident,
ChockFull, we got this one too: McDonald’s Happy Meals In San Francisco To Include Gay Marriage License PLUS we got one that said Fox News Personally Confirms the Pope’s Death. Which pope, they didn’t say. Alexander Pope, maybe. He died in 1744. I don’t know about the “personally” part.
Mine all seem to say:
Hellopbth, gotta sec7thbrrb?
It’s like someone spilled some coffee on the spambot.
While many bears are Catholic, we can be reasonably sure that The Constipated Cross-Eyed Bear is Protestant. The Catholics don’t sing that one.
Best one I got today was for President Bush’s iPod playlist.
Does Bush even know what an iPod is?
My boss got one that I loved. It said simply:
Your life is crap.
Another good subject: Gay rights terrorist kills eight in fabulous bombing.
These guys should work for the Onion or something.
I got this one:
Unemployed To Be Used For Soup
A lot of RO potential there…
Are you sure it wasn’t just an ad for Soylent Green?
Today I got…
Schwarzenegger Admits Starting California Wildfires
THANK YOU! I was trying to remember the one I saw today that was absolutely flat-out ridiculous. Glad it got into the thread.
(I didn’t know that spammers read Jonathan Swift . . .)
