Spam
I, like everybody else in creation, get a lot of spam. Most of it gets eaten by filters before I so much as have to deal with it, but, of course, every once in a while some gets through. I usually look at the subjects on those just for fun; sometimes they’re good for a laugh, even if I already have enough penis enlargement pills to last me well into next year. I got a spam the other day, though, that was truly above-average. I’d say it’s the worst spam of all time.
The subject line was "truckload of dead puppies."
I’m wondering if that was one of the pseudo-random subject lines put together by the spam subject generators or if somebody actually thought that one up; perhaps somebody actually thought that would generate a click-through (it didn’t, by the way; I was afraid it would have pictures). My new goal in life is to come up with an even worse sales pitch than that.
It looks like maybe it was on a website somewhere and the program just grabbed that set of words from it. Either way, I’ve got to use it. And by “use it”, I mean, “make a simple MS Paint drawing using that as inspiration and post it on the Spamusement forums”.
