A question for spammers

Just curious...

If you have to change the characters in the subject line to disguise the product you are selling (e.g., V!@gr@, Pen!$, etc.), could it be that you are targeting the wrong audience?

I'm certain that there are people out there who would LOVE to hear all about the cheap Viagra and penis pumps that you are selling. I just don't happen to be one of them because a) I don't have a penis, and b) my husband doesn't have penile issues.

So, here's what I propose...you write out the full words of the products you are selling in the subject line of your messages so that I have the option to filter your message to my trash. It's going there anyhow, no matter what you do, and I wouldn't take what you are offering even if it were free.

Ideally, it would be great if you stopped spamming altogether and decided to stop being a bottom-feeding scumbag, but I'm willing to compromise here.

Turn on your word verification or they'll start spamming your comments too. Spammy bastards.

I was wondering why you did that...as if you had to censor Christine and I or something. Well, that might have been a bonus to doing it, I suppose. And the spam excuse keeps us from being any bit the wiser! ;)

Christine said...

Shit, cock, balls. As if anyone has to censor me!

Bonus points if you tell me what movie that's from.

Is it from "Deuce Bigalow" -- the chick with Tourette's Syndrome?

Christine said...

Nope. Anyone, anyone?

Cory said...

Is is from Old School? I've already had to start yelling "earmuffs!" at Evan.

My verification word is "neega." That doesn't sound very good.

The suspense is killing me...what movies is it from???

Christine said...

You got it Cory! Just one of the reasons I love that movie.
