| spoof msnbc news headlines |

Well i'm pleased to report my daily spam has moved on from slagging me off, "What a stupid face you have Max" and "Max is a moron"...
Now i get spoof news headlines pretending to be from MSN... is everyone getting them? (Apparently the link always pretends to be to http://breakingnews.msnbc.com - which is a legitimate URL. The URL you arrive at is of course anything but. It looks like a phishing site but there's the lure of watching a video clip - except of course you need a codec. Good luck for you: you can download it right away...)
Over the weekend my work email spam service has collected the following: (some of which are just great)

Those are brilliant.
I remember a few years ago, somebody nicked a few of those headline posters which you see displayed by news vendors, wrote their own headlines on them in marker, and stuck them up around the Euston area.
They included: POLICE ARREST CRACK BABY
GOD: "YOU'RE ALL FUCKED"
And ANAL SEX CURES CANCER (which nearly became a T-shirt for a certain band I was once in)
GOD: "YOU'RE ALL FUCKED"
fantastic. i wish i could use it for an album title...
""What a stupid face you have Max" and "Max is a moron"..."
WTF???
You have personalised spam???
Yeah the bastards!! I mean it's funny but it did put a slight downer on the start of the day, being slagged off by anonymous spambots. This is why you shouldn't have your name in your email address... but it's my work address so pretty unavoidable.
That's incredible. I wouldn't know whether to be outraged or delighted. Both probably. Doutraged. | |
