Usually it's something insane like "Weather burger trump island"...this time it was a little too straightforward.

I think I prefer the insane subjects.

I just wonder...aren't they trying for "positive" responses? It is crazy, you're right.

It's just that sort of crap, and the "urgent weatherballoon treacle hairspray" messages, that made me change my filters to just DUMP all my bulk mail before I even see it.

Yeah, I would do that too, but occasionally something relevant shows up in the bulk folder. :(

Eh, I don't think I've missed much. 30 or 40 messages a day that have lines like "Th9343is iS n)0(t a b out1233 V1aGrA!" doesn't even warrant clicking on "Empty" anymore, I don't care what else might show up there once a year.

Damn. I get a lot of creepy, weird subjects in the spam mail I receive, but that one tops them all. That's messed up.

I really was astonished! I mean, I thought they wanted to sell things to you. Wouldn't you want *positive* associations? Ugh.

Heh, here's the text of one that I just got:

Michele,

Our stuff checked your informathion (26920 eastwood lane Olmsted twp) and we can decrease
your mor tga j ge percent to 3.9 in OH. Your credijt fits our
program.

To get startedp, please use this URL


Oh yeah, your 'stuff' checked my 'informathion'? Did their 'stuff' really check me out, or could have been their staff? Cuz I'm really going to re'mor tga j ge' my home with a company that can't spell simple words correctly. I'm truly shocked that somehow they managed to get my name - one 'L' - and address correct. Actually, it's kind of creepy that they got that info correct, I guess.

I just stared at it for a long moment. I had to screencap it because I was just so incredibly surprised.

I told a friend of mine, because I thought it was rather outrageous, and he pointed out that a girl he once dated had told him he had a fantasy of being "raped" by someone she knew. I tried to explain to him that if it's consensual, it's not rape, it's role-playing, but I guess, reluctantly, he has a point. If other people throw the word around so casually, those are the people that tagline is written for.

And yes, you don't have to ask, I think it's gross usage.

There's a story by Margaret Atwood called "Rape Fantasies" where the narrator listens as her co-workers tell their rape fantasies. One woman finally asks the narrator what her rape fantasy is, and she says something to the tune of, "My rapist stops me in an alley, and waits politely as I get the pepper spray out of my purse and spray him."

Ahem. It's obvious this boring narrator has never read fanfic or she'd know rape leads to twoo wuv and OMG babies!

Dear lord, and I thought it was bad enough when I kept getting spam about penis enlargements and Viagra (dude. Like, I'm female? Just what are you suggesting here....?)

I'm really glad that Gmail just puts spam in the spam folder and I never need look at it.

I always check the bulk mail/spam mail folders, just because occasionally a real email shows up there, and I hate to lose a real email, especially because it might be business related.

Usually I just laugh and laugh at "Lunar warts plankton could it be" subjects, but I was really astonished when I saw this one.
