Today's Spam Funnies

Someone should create a website that totally makes fun of some of the silly spam we receive. Where are all those standup commedians who want a global audience and international fame? Here's a money making idea for your natural cut-ups.

Spam is out of control as everyone is well aware of. If you cannot control it, then why not laugh about it? I chuckle each and every time I hit "select all" and "delete". If the subject line looks even 1/100ths close to spam, it is history in my inbox.

Recently I heard it suggested on the news that the US government is considering compiling a "do not email list". LOL.... get real! You know what I mean. A list like the "do not call list" that all the telemarketers are using here in the US. I have four friends who asked to be placed on the "do not call list" and they get more telemarketing calls then ever before. So think about it, folks. Do we really want our emails addresses available to spammers on such a list?

As of the beginning of this year, the US has put laws into place if you spam. You could be fined. I have not heard of anyone being arrested or fined yet. Have you? If so, let me know. I'd like to watch their court hearing on Court TV.

Did your spam drop to an all time low since these laws went into effect? No, mine neither. My spam actually increased. I think the folks who come up with these laws do not use the internet or email and are not aware that the majority of the spam comes from countries that have little to no laws that are actually enforced. In order for such a law to be effective, it would have to be ... ahhhh ... an international, GLOBAL law. Yes, the last time I looked the internet was still global. [devilish *G*]

Anyway, let's look at some spammer funnies I receive just today, shall we?

>>> Anita Ashby, RE: your confidential info # 0H A538

Hmm. I'm quite sure I never sent out a message that states "your confidential info #OH A538". So why is Anita sending me a reply with an re:? [Deleted]

>>> Vito Perez, you are an exception callisto skyward

Huh? [Deleted]

>>> June K. Suarez, Powerful weightloss now available where you are.

Wow. Weightloss is available just about everywhere. Does't everyone know this? June must not have known. [Deleted]


>>> Wendi Ray, priority no wait effluent cybernetic offensive

Wendi, could you possible rephrase this in English? [Deleted]

>>> Frankie Floyd, applique colon cossack curate ciceronian armful alimony bedroom compliant analge...

Can I be frank with you, Frank? If you want to continue to spam, you really should re-think your pickup line. [Deleted]

>>> Rico Guevara, Amaaaaaaazing Lubriiiiicaaaation

Hehehe ... Okay, we all know where this one leads. I prefer el-natural, so no thank you. I wonder if Rico's keyboard is sticking; perhaps he needs lubricant of some kind or worse ... perhaps he's using too much on his keyboard! Oh my, now that is an ugly visual, yes? More than likely he/she/it is simply trying to get around spam filters? Ya think? ;) Rico, it's time to find a new career. You have been at the computer too long, man. [Deleted]
