Junk Mail by The C

March 10th, 2007 5:07 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Read through all your junk mail for three days. This includes real world junk mail and email. Keep track of what each piece of junk mail is trying to sell you. After three days, make a list of all the products and services that you were offered and why you were offered them.

I tend to get a lot of spam e-mail. Thankfully, Gmail catches almost all of it so I don't have to see it, except when I delete it from the spam folder because I hate watching the number climb whenever I open Firefox.

So, every couple hours, I opened up everyone of those spam e-mails, and wrote down in a document what it was advertising. I'll put the whole list here, and question/explain about them after.

-----------
1. microsoft office for $80

I honestly don't know how I got signed up for most of these things. I must have gave my e-mail to a bad site a few months ago (I didn't get any spam until then.)

The ones that were always interesting to me though were the random ones. My friend saw one, and said it was almost like poetry. I looked at it again, and it is like poetry...from someone with a loose grasp on reality. Example:
"Cherry pie fall plans cancelled, sales definitely.
City parents guadalupe rodrguez david spent."

Also, I just find the fact that an attachment was called "Legit.gif" to be hillarious.
