Who Are They Marketing To?
I love spam, I hate it but sometimes I've just gotta love it because it just seems to make utterly no sense at all.

A few examples that leap to mind, the people selling spam defeating software, the mass mailed "Your Hotel Site Isn't Being Seen" spams (really, come on now, how many people own a hotel?), the fuller plumper lips spams and, my personal favorite, the buy-this-stock spam.

They all fail for some pretty easily identified reasons but the Buy-this-stock spam is just sort of endearing in a retarded brother sort of way. I mean really, who would ever go and buy stock in a company because they got spam (with the ubiquitous jumble of letters at the end) that said to? Maybe it would be kind of fun to set up a stock tracker for these companies just to see whether it is possible to get rich from following the unsolicited advice from unshaven, unwashed idiots sitting in dark living rooms in their underwear.

I can't even say nice try because this is not a good try, its not even a try at all. Its just wasting time, bandwidth and money.

And anyone who ever buys anything from a spam or pop-up should not be allowed to use the computer or the internet anymore. The only way to stop the spam is to stop it from being a money making endeavor.

Oh yeah, gotta give props to the spam pharmacies! Selling herbal viagra and anything else you want to hear. Anyone that would buy something they're going to put in their body from a spammer deserves the diseases they get.

[Update: Jay's comment lead me to this article and a new technique for spammers to invade comments on weblogs, why? I have no idea what kind of sales they think they can possibly make but damn, I will be seriously bummed if asshole spammers try to take over my comments. Something must be done about idiots and their spam.]
