Marketing To Morons Made Easier

from the a-modest-proposal dept

Someone over at DMNews has come up with something of a "modest proposal" on how to deal with spammers. Since so much of the spam that is sent out is pure crap, and most of us can't believe that anyone short of a complete imbecile would respond to a spam message, we should do the spammers a favor and build a list of morons who respond to spam to sell to spammers. Then the spammers will really be able to target their crap, without bugging the rest of us who know better.

    Going on the "Sucker born every minute" philosophy, you're better off with the current, random spams.
