Imminent Catastrophe

posted: 7/22/2008 at 9:36 PM

I thought I'd seen the worst spam subject lines, but today I got one that beats them all: One Hot White Chick injured in Tsunami Disaster This is just wrong in so many ways I can't even begin to describe them...

Second that. I wonder who actually sits around and thinks of sh*t like that?! But I always wondered about some sick examples of the human species and what makes them that way ...

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Usually nobody "thinks" up subject lines. They are randomly computer generated from chunks of text (kinda like madlibs) intended to bypass spam checkers. Sometimes, the randomly generated results are... interesting. That one is pretty rough.

"Prevent working your behind off" - actually I am trying rather hard to work my behind off. Apparently I have several accounts with Chase Bank that I can no longer access until I verify all my account info and my automatic prescription renewals with Pfizer and Lilly are doing something. "This action is for you" - scared to know "Obama's karma over slip of tongue" and my current fave "mongor Vampute torse botal" - uh yeah...get right on that.

Yeah and I dont know why people say playing the lottery is a waste of money. Apparently I am so lucky I win all kinds of lotteries everyday in almost every country. I'm just waiting on all the checks to get here. Also, I never knew I had so many dead relatives from the Middle East that loved me enough to put me in their estates. *sniff* Brings a tear to my eye........ Seriously! Do people actually fall for this crap?!

I love the ones that say that "I'm the last living relative" so I get the estate - I wonder how my brothers feel about that (oh and my parents since they are alive too). Big grin

Bring it on.

maybe you were adopted at a very young age and in fact, you are a very rich person if you would just do what the email says to do...
