Status: offline 		Do you get any "weird" spam? My understanding that this stuff is put out
by bots and that companies get paid per email sent. There is an add for
something(mortgage rates, home refi's or meds), followed by strange prose.
Strange, yet somehow mesmerizing.

Thoughts?


Indeed, another optimal power drill hardly pours freezing cold water on
another tuba player. A girl scout buys an expensive gift for an
earring. Any roller coaster can have a change of heart about a cargo bay about
a briar patch, but it takes a real paycheck to wisely graduate from the
seldom precise fighter pilot. A fractured briar patch beams with joy,
and another knowingly statesmanlike tomato hesitates; however, the
underhandedly elusive photon makes love to the sheriff about a pork chop.
You really can't fail with integrated management matrix approaches.

Status: offline 		On my work email I get about 60 spam mails a day, and at home about 20. Viagra, penis enlargement, gay dating, Swiss watches, stock market alerts, Russian brides, anatrim etc etc. What amazes me, is how I get on these mailing lists - like, why would I want to know about "gay dates in my area" and Russian brides? And quite why I'd be interested in penis enlargement I really dont know! The ones I really dont like though, are the "18 year old gets it from father" type, sex things; like, just who does want to see that stuff?

But yes - the bizarre prose accompanying a lot of these mails, is, well, strangely compulsive, I find, and sometimes very amusing as it seems to be cuts from several different texts, rolled into one. The senders' names sometimes make me laugh too, the one I remember was Fanny Hare. At least I get a laugh when deleting this stuff!

The purpose of that weird prose is to give the spam detector something to chew on that it ultimately decides has it should pass along to the human for reading. The pure marketing copy is detectable by pattern--one of the r3as0nz you see weird spellings from time to time. So this extra text is kinda like camoflage for the actual spam. It needs to make a certain kind of nonsense to do it's job.

Status: offline 		I don't buy spam - I like meat that doesn't come in a can and doesn't have some strange mucus substance covering it.

What?!!?  You're not talking about the canned meat!?!?  Er ... nevermind

Status: offline 		I wonder if I could take advantage of all these products at once and see what happens?

Invest all my money on the stock market, then use the profits to get a penis enlargement and buy steroids and anatrim, (surely it might work in combination with viagra too?). Use the steroids, together with anatrim, to turn into some Apollo-like psychotic nutcase with an armful of replica Swiss watches, which I would set to make sure I'm not late for my date with local gay men, whom I would then rape violently due to the action of the steroids I'm using and my viagra addiction, before going home to my Russian bride, whose penis would undoubtedly be larger than mine, even after the enlargement and drugs.....

Just a thought there. Thats if I dont invest the money from the stock market alerts on bank charges to get a share of that Nigerian widow's cash.
