25 April 2008A memory without blotContamination, now, that's another matter:
In the last 24-hours, I've gotten upwards of one hundred spam comments that all begin with text from Jane Eyre. Do you even know how just the name Rochester thrills me? They sure do! Because I have read every single comment. Marked them as spam, sure, but I read 'em! The best part is, that after the initial delightful grabs from some of the best chick lit of all time, the message dissolves into gobbledygook I mean, pure and absolute nonsense with dirty words inserted here and there. No links, no products. Just Jane Eyre and profanity.
Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this. Posted at 8:12 AM to Scams and SpamsThere used to be some kind of rationale for spam, but somewhere along the line it has become mime in MIME: the universe's most annoying performance art.
