Note to Spammers: Must Try Harder
You know spam, yeah? Those silly emails you get every day advertising everything from cheap Viagra and Rolexes to eternal salvation to the latest breakthrough in sex-organ size enhancement? You know sometimes (not often, but sometimes) you open them, because the subject line sometimes sounds remotely funny and/or interesting? No? Well I do. Sometimes.
So here's what I got in my spambox yesterday:
Unknown sender. No Subject. That's not a very good effort is it? I mean who's going to open that?
(ok maybe I would, just to get the screengrab, but you know what I mean...)

Ooooo, what did it say?

Great, eh? More points taken away for bad spelling, too. It was probably written by a virus-filled computer anyhoo.

I got one today from someone called

Now THAT'S a great spammer name.

I would definitely have opened that one.
(...possibly after having thoroughly examined it for dubious attachments)

That last comment is spam. Delete it.

Interesting that a post about spam gets the first spam comment to make it through the spamguards though isn't it? And it didn't even mention online poker and/or penis enlargement. And are you sure it's spam?

The interesting thing is that this is the post seems to bear the brunt of all the spam comments. I've lost count of the number of comments I've junked from this post. I might see what happens if I just leave the spam comments on this one and junk the ones on all the other posts. Hmmm...
Well, I have to leave that last one in anyhoo, or your comment makes no sense...
