The Spam Thread.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

The SPAM filters are off on my Zombieworld account while Chet tests out the system again. So where I normally get two pieces of spam a day -- and I am counting the daily marriage proposal from Muffsweet as "spam" for the purposes of this thread -- I am now getting 40 or 50.

Anyway, one caught my eye. As careful JC Denizens may note, there has been a lot going on the research of expressing "laughter" as of late. Lately, the whole "LOL" thing has gone from

o Not being used
o Being used ironically
o Being used a little too less-ironically
o Being morphed

What's it being morphed into?

"LOLLERS"
"LOLRROL"
"LOllKhahaKEKEKE"
"L-L-L-L-L-L-ONSTER KILL!!!"

And then sometimes it's "ROFL" which gets heavily modified into "ROFLESL" "ROOFFLERS" "RFUFFAAAAAARGH!" and whatnot.

Here's the spam I just received:

Code: Select all

Hello beaver 

Why are blondes hurt by people's words? Because people keep hitting them with dictionaries. xxqkrsankyebhvqgpej 

"xxqkrsankyebhvqgpej"? "xxqkrsankyebhvqgpej"??? That's apparently the porn spam equivalent of "ROFGLOLLOERS" or something, apparently.

(And yes, if you're wondering, getting all these pieces of mail that think the "beaver" in "beaver@zombieworld.com" is my first name makes the spam just the liiiiiiiittlest bit sexier than it normally would.)

And I will leave it to the rest of you guys to decide if that mail even counts as a "joke" or a "riddle." It just looks like an implied threat. I mean, I've heard of a bad punchline before, but that's ridiculous. ROFLOLFLXXQKRSANKYEBHVQGPEJ!!!!!

They put that nonsense in the topics sometimes too. I suppose it is an identifier or something because they send out so much shit. Lately I've been using eremove and that FLKS:JSDFLKH:D stuff helps me locate the spam messages which I delete before they are even downloaded to my computer.
