Spam getting funnier rapidly
July 21, 2008 2:40 pm Bunk News, General Interest, HumorThe most recent one I got said “Bush down to 8 friends on MySpace”. Immediately, I thought “yeah, and they’re all Karl Rove”.
Can’t stop laughing. I think I actually enjoy SPAM now. How creepy is that?

Strangely about 50% of my spam is in chinese. Here are some subjects in english I found amusing:
You’re fired!
>:-(
Obama loses millions in heist
Mexican iPhones for half price
rolex watches
(this one amuses me because it’s only 1 character different from my last name)
Ficken wie ein Weltmeister
(everything sounds funnier in german)
You forgot Poland
Fast food causes men to shrink

I don’t know why that’d seem strange. They’re newer to the internet on the average, making them more likely to fall for it, and there are four times as many of them as there are of us.
It’s a business no-brainer. What I wonder is why I don’t see more spam in Arabic and Hindi.

I think this one would’ve been less hilarious if I had had another email address.
