Spam Observations #7

My New (old?) Best Friend, Mark Webster (or maybe Charlie M, he evidently has a personality divergence… not uncommon amongst spammers it would appear) was very excited to let me know his news:


From: Mark Webster

Hey my man, long time no talk!

You won’t believe what we found, holy !!!!.
It’s this crazy hookup site, I got laid 6 times this week man, you don’t have to use a credit card or anything you won’t pay a cent!

There are tons of girls, guys, couples and I’m sure something for you too!

See ya later
Charlie M

Girls, guys and couples and he’s sure something for me too! And I thought I was being discreet about my predilections. Well that’s the internet for you.

Stencil graffiti, churchyard wall, Newtown, Australia.

Think about it: someone feels so strongly about this that they were motivated to make a stencil and propagate the message. Interesting. Personally, I find bottles relatively inoffensive as inanimate objects go.

[thanks J.]

I bought the new eponymously titled CD from Martha Wainwright today, and it had this advisory sticker on it.

What? I mean, what?

Can anyone tell me what the hell this actually means? Who gauges these things? Do they sit a whole bunch of people down and test them to see what level of ‘impact’ the ‘coarse’ language in the songs has on them? And how do they judge that? Does anyone else think this is just BIZARRE?

I wonder if they actually listened to any of the words that weren’t ooooh, naughty, on this marvellously crafted collection.

Martha’s site is here: [Link] Buy her CD, it is wonderful.
