At least it doesn't claim to enlarge someones genitals or offer up showgirl sluts on moterbikes.
Sad but the above is what spam used to be. Just annoying. Not offensive.
Sadder still millions of people don't know that the above is why that annoying email in their box is called spam.

it's not all that sad. I actually am much less annoyed by people trying to make a buck. at least they have a purpose for putting it there other than to just piss me off.

And yes, it is still considered spamming.

You can't really remake spam. Even if you try to drench it in grease and wine, that taste will forever remain. And now since I've lost my thought on this, I leave.

Yes, if by "love it" you mean "are driven to homicidal levels of hatred."

have any of you seen these spams that are full of random word strings? something like
Quote
warble clam congestive beatify connotation moth distort brood demerit archaic longish hugging obsidian equable grandmother strangle parry doorkeep alligator boathouse depredate frankfurt supine
edna sidestep balzac dalton kazoo pepsico chamber pinehurst christoph arnold repeal synergistic waxwork hoof thermo carport cherish larceny diagnosable scoundrel walsh guilford poetic bifocal chain acclaim curfew icicle helene reedbuck dillon moresby perplex giddap paine flashback grove privet

THe subjects are like that too. I have no idea what they're trying to accomplish unless this somehow spoofs spam filters.

At any rate, I got one today with a pretty cool subject line:
"Some inexplicable loathing"
Weird.
