Spam Observations #46

I notice that it’s been quite some while since I’ve posted up one of my Spam Observations. This is not for a want of actual spam, you understand – I get bucketloads of that every day. No, it’s mostly because the quality of the spam I’ve been getting has plateaued out into a banal greyish phlegm with nothing at all to distinguish it from the efforts of a million monkeys at typewriters. Gone is the time when spammers actually tried to sell their useless gimcrackery. Their efforts now seem to have degenerated into a kind of indifferent spew aimed at… well, who can say what it is they hope to achieve? I certainly can’t see how a one line email apathetically suggesting the purchase of watch-that-looks-like-a-Rolex-but-isn’t can be even remotely persuasive as a sales pitch. But hey, it must work in some way or another or I guess they’d stop doing it.

So while my new best buddy Evan Eva* doesn’t reach the poetic or literate heights that we’ve seen in the past from Landon Flanagan, Rhonda K or Raymondo, he at least got a laugh out of me with his email this morning:

Jennifer Lopez Full video without cowards. The dvd is Interesting! Only 1 day trial – get this Shocking photo now!

w00t! I’ve only got the JLo video that comes with the cowards, so I can’t wait to see the one that’s coward-free! And most Demi Moore recordings I’ve heard are less than interesting. Oh how I love the internets!!
