OT: REALLY STUPID SPAM
Over the last couple of days I’ve noticed a new trend in spam techniques. The spammers call me a loser and write that I have a small … (Well, actually, they never get around to specifying what part of my anatomy must be small. Since, the spam is selling fake Viagra, I think I can probably guess.) Insulting me is supposed to make me want to buy their product? What a great concept! Why didn’t Pfizer think of this? I can see the ad now- Bob Dole speaking directly into the camera, “Your wife says I’m better in bed than you are.”

“Rule #3: Spammers are stupid.” The anti-spam activists have codified a short set of rules (4) with corollaries. Just google for “rules of spam”. |

At one time people were trying to sell you stuff with spam. Today, it seems like that isn’t even the point. I’m not sure what the point is. Unless maybe all the really lame spams are probes to tests the spam filters. |
