Spam unclear on the concept

[redbird]

I didn't open it, of course, but the subject line was "Guaranteed to create permanent growth on your erection." Yes, "on". So, are they selling genital warts?

i nearly blogged one I got yesterday, the subject of which was 'Have a Bigger Penis Till April!' This is one of those 'the English language doesn't work quite the way you think' moments.

Oh my. Lovely.

I needed that laugh. Thank you.

That's an image I really didn't need!

So having an STI could help you make money. Who knew?!

That's disturbing! ;)

Since I have been getting those types of emails lately, I realize how suddenly aware I am of the diminutive size of my penis and how ashamed I ought to be of it. Leave it to spam to cast my inadequacies in sharp relief.

On the upside, my boobs are still enormous.

That crap gets more insane all the time -- I just got one (out of my hundreds a day, *ugh*) with the subject line "SAVE THE RAINFOREST WITH YOUR HUGE FIRE HOSE!"

So they're going more for a rental/tryout business model? I think they've found an underserved market segment that could be a real money maker. I mean, I might be willing to give it a try if I was sure it would only last till April.

Why "of course"? If it was interesting ehough to read, remember, and write about, why wasn't it interesting enough to open?

DD-B took it at a Mnstf meeting at Dean & Laura's. Rachael took it off his snapshot page and turned it into a LiveJournal picture for me. I'm enjoying watching and listening to Martin and Lydy debate something.

Because I make a policy of not opening spam, especially sex-related spam. Maybe if I were using a text-based mailreader (and knew I wouldn't be shown obnoxious photos).

I configure Eudora so that I never see photos in email. Life is much easier, and safer, that way.
