What has spam ever done to you? Huh?

We get a lot of spam targeting our servers. I mean A LOT of spam. Definately more than 60,000 spam messages a day per server we own. Most of that is out of the blue; usually foreign and almost all total crap.

[Note to our web hosting customers ... when you find yourself irked by the few that do get through (maybe a dozen per 300 delivered). We're on the front lines taking the brunt for you. Promise. It's the virtual equivilent of Kevin standing out there with a rolling pin in one hand waving it away - which is funny as hell to watch. Besides where have YOU been surfing lately. ]

Anyway, so I’ve realized that if you take the average product(s) that spam is pushing, from its very inception, you’ll see that spam isn’t really all that bad.

Spam doesn’t want to hurt you.I mean, he’s (yes, spam is a “he”.) really looking out for you as the consumer. Serious. Spam is all about proportions, and here is the money shot: 

Spam just wants to make your manhood larger and your mortgage payments smaller.

What scale!

So, when I found this website – http://spamusement.com/ - I nearly bust a gut. Granted, you have to read A LOT of Spam subject lines to get any of these jokes..but when you are in our industry – or just get a lot of email – you may recognize some of these.

Other cool links as of late:

Warning the above is addicting.
