Spam about spam

One answer to the question "why do we have spam" is "because we have spam." I received a spam email and I read it (usually I don't.) I begun laughing and almost fell off my chair.

The email said it had the answer to all marketing problems. For a fee they would advertise via email. They offered to do spamming for me!

If that isn't stupidity then what is? They think I'm so stupid that I think spam really is a good way of advertising. I (like many many many others) hate spamming and spammers. Did they really think I'd cause pain to more people?

Spammers, perhaps it's time to grow up and have a look at the real world?

RE: Spam about spam

I recieved a spam the other day advertising an Anti-Spam program. If you think about it, it is kind of clever marketing ploy

Well that is clever and perhaps a bit funny too, but the spam email I got was rediculous!
