Spammers suck
Dec. 6th, 2005 12:42 pmSo I click on the "letter to Santa" link that everyone's been doing because I want to be cool too.
And I have a look at the ads:
Can you ask a dead guy to resign? I kinda thought the whole death thing is God's way of helping you say you've retired. And that was in what, March? April? Seriously, if spammers want their links to look semi-legitimate, they really should attempt to stay at least within 6 months of big news like that. What's next, the "should the USSR be forced to disarm their nukes?" survey? Oooh, or the "free Nelson Mandela from prison" petition. Yeah, that'd be good. The fact that this "survey" is located immediately above an ad for a tribute sculpture is especially ironic. No, wait, I get it. The tribute is so life-like that you almost forget he's gone.
