Spam

[resonant]

Spam subject line of the day: "I made my wife scream like a teenage slut!"

(I'll bet he installed a T1 line for her.)

My favorite recent one is "Make Love Like a Teenager!"

What -- cramped in the backseat of a car, or with one eye open, hoping my parents don't come home too soon? Wondering when the subject of condoms needs to come up? Puh-leeze... I know some folks say the teen years were the best of their lives, but for a lot of us that was when the anxiety-meter hovered in the red most of the time.

And why is it these spam-heads go with the stupid misspellings? Do they think people who delete their crap, who wouldn't deal with them if they were giving the junk away, will like them better if they spell badly? Help for the spelling-challenged, perhaps?

blrrrrpt!

A lot of spam filters filter according to certain keywords. That's why they started to spell porn like 'Pr0n', to get past the nannys and the filters.

Oh, yeah, I know -- but it's a little like the irritation industry trying to get around the Do Not Call lists. As Dave Barry suggested, it seems incredibly stupid to go out of your way to throw *more* annoyance at people who already don't want to do business with you.

And from what I understand, there are new 'smart' spam filters that catch w.o.r.d.s with stupid punctuation that's one of the other dodges.

I suppose it's ironic to be so annoyed by that crap, considering I'm *writing* stuff that would make a Fundie turn puce, but the spam is not only trash, it's such *poorly written* trash...

that's all good and fine, but we can't discount the fact that his wife might be a teenage slut.
