THE IRONIES OF SPAM

Like, How Stupid Would I Have To Be?

by Roland Kriewaldt

  1. Getting spam that's advertising anti-spam software.
  2. Having girls email me claiming to have seen my "profile" on the internet when my profile is not on the internet.
  3. Having people unknown to me, for reasons unknown to me, offer me stock tips about companies that are unknown to me.
  4. Having Mrs. M. Sese–Seko, the widow of late president Mobutu Sese-Seko in the Democratic Republic of Congo, pester me every few months to invest her $18,000,000, instead of calling a broker.
  5. Getting an even better offer from Daniel Struss in Lagos, Nigeria, on the same day that Mrs. M. Sese–Seko offered me $18,000,000. They are having the same problem. Wow, lucky me!
  6. Receiving offers for pills to enlarge my penis yet none to make it smaller. What about a different color?
  7. Getting ever more spam because so many desperate people allow themselves to be deceived, thereby keeping fraud profitable.
