Spam - interesting to read?

I think this is just a sign of me becoming prematurely senile, but I was reading through the feed for one of my 419 email repository blogs. On rare occasion, a “normal” spam will slip through (i.e. one that isn’t from a general, bank manager, president/ceo or some random other person in a far flung land). Normally I just mark it and take care of whatever has accumulated later in the day. However, today I started reading; probably because of this line -

Doggy lesbian married baseball died madonna? Affleck lopz wahlberg twain.

So then I read the whole thing aloud (mainly because it’s more hilarious when you read it as if you care what the punctuation says). I think it’s not bad; the only problem being that it really doesn’t go anywhere and seems to repeat. Now, just because I can, here is the full text of the spam:

Fun with widescreen

I’ll go into more later on this, but I now have a lovely widescreen monitor, and here’s a shot of one of cool things I can do - find out what’s on all 75 channels of TV at a time. Admittedly, though, it isn’t something I’ll be using on a regular basis ;)

Another new toy

I’ve been playing with this autobot. It’s a great time, if you want to teach it wrong definitions for stuff ;)

Here’s a log of my chat with the bot…

And I think I know who’s responsible for this one. ;)

Overly Complex Instructions

Sometimes I can’t even make this stuff up. About a week ago, we bought a simple desk light with its most extravagant feature being an on/off toggle. However, the instruction sheet (yes, instruction sheet for a simple lamp) advises that the power should be cut off to the light (either via turning the circuit breaker off for that particular circuit or by unplugging the light.

Describing this in words won’t do it justice, so check back later for when I post a picture of these instructions ;)

A "small" problem

I’m not going to comment on it, other than the bad pun for the title. BBC link. Excerpt:

A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

For a while, this was the second most popular story on the BBC website; right now the 4th emailed story there is this one from the Midlands. Excerpt:

Emergency call handlers were left “in disbelief” when a man dialled 999 because he could not find his trousers.

Hmm..ya think that alcohal might have been involved in that one? ;)
