Penile Recommendations

Some spam I really love, like this one:
Have you ever wanted to impress your girl? Now you could grant your wish! Be realistic ? you always wanted it! Try SPUR-M now! Use this tab regularly and you'll have the best sex!
And in the same day:
You gape for ejaculating like you had seen in porno films? I am sure it was! This successful product is created especially for you, guys! Use this tab regularly and you'll have the best sex! Worried it won't work?
Both had links to different URLs. Both carried the subject line "Penile Recommendations." Both were obviously written by someone with an unparalleled mastery of the English language.

I have said before that there is no way I would ever purchase anything that was advertised to me via spam, especially anti-spam software advertised to them via spam! That makes no sense at all.

Who buys products that they have heard about via spam? I really want to know how these jokers make money.

I assume the online poker ones make a lot.

The rest--they must; a sucker born every minute :-)

I sort of like the ones that try to fool the spamblockers by including random strings of text - sometimes the combinations of words actually spark ideas for stories and such.

Mostly, though, they're just annoying.

Oh come now, you know the answer to that question--it's the guys over at Dating Help for Men. I hear "ejaculating like you had seen in the porno films" is highly prized over there.

Where else are you going to fulfill the penile recommendations?

Well you know, in my day to day activities, very few people actually harrass me about the size of my penis. So if I want to fulfill such a need, I don't really know that I would have any other alternative.

Almost the moment I first put on my engagement ring I got innundated with wedding-related spam!! They all have a talent for over-using explanation points!!!! The most recent has the subject header "Your Weddidng"!!

Actually I think the figure is less than 1% of folks who are spammed actually BUY the shit the spammers are spamming. But hey, if the spammers are spamming oh say MILLIONS of email addresses, eventually they find their "pidgeons".
