If All Spam Were True...

from the what-a-wonderful-life dept

Here's an amusing column from someone who went through his spam and described what his life might be like if all of it were true. You'll probably recognize the spam, because it's the same set of messages we all receive: "Attractive singles are always setting me up on really fun blind dates. Why, just this week I've met "hundreds of incredible singles in my area!" All these new relationships are going better than I could have dreamed, too. Maybe it's my impressive list of university and graduate degrees. Maybe it's my newly thick head of youthful-looking hair. Or maybe it's because of the spam that made me "bigger than Shaq." Whatever the cause of my popularity, I make sure to run background checks on everyone I meet."

    Nothing about toner cartridges? No mention of all the spam written in Korean? I must have ended up on a different set of spam lists.
