I’ve notice a new approach with the spam I’m receiving. Spammers are trying to lure me into opening their email by making it look like it’s a sensationalistic news story. The subject line will read something like: ‘Al Qaeda cannibals release video of Duke cheerleader kidnapping’ or ‘Chinese missles nuke Russian Army units’.

I can be out-of-touch at times, but I think I would have noticed something about terrorist cannibals or the start of WWIII. Why would Dwight P. Happening or Underling Thrasher send me these news stories?

Those unlucky enough to fall for it and open the email, discover that it’s spam. How stupid do you have to be to take the next step and actually buy the product? Pretty damn stupid, right? Someone, somewhere, must be doing it, otherwise spammers would have quit long ago.

What could those spam consumers be thinking? “I want to know more about that China missile thing, but I have been worried about the length of my penis…”

What would your reaction be if your doctor called you up and told you to rush down to his office, because your lab results indicated you had a serious problem? However, when you got there, he tried to sell you a car. “Problem?” “Um… lab results?” “No, forget that, take a look at the great deal on this car.”

You’d give him a good swift kick in the ass.

And if I ever cross paths with Maintaining G. Tabby, Rosario Stephenson, or Barney Velez, I’m going to do the same.
