Again with the spam! Yes, I know we all get it, especially if you have a website like I do and you put your e-mail on it somewhere, like I do. Big whoop. But well, it seems that lately I have become the target of a very specific group of spambots. Behold:

I can only assume that the third message from the bottom is Russian for "Viagra online, cheap!" Yah, that's my actual Inbox up there. And this wasn't the first time, either. I started taking screencaps when these messages just kept on coming. See for yourself:

Similar sender information and subject lines, and only a few days later! I guess spambots are undeterred by my ignoring their messages. They are a persistent bunch, bound and determined to sell me their drugs by whatever mean necessary!! I have to admit, mixed in with the "usual" senders and subject lines, came a few that had an interesting approach:

Wow, apparently this medication will cure ALL of my problems! I guess my hair will stop its slow but steady thinning process and that bit of extra weight I've been carrying around the middle will just melt away. Also, I will be able to better interact with people and be more tolerant toward assholery in my general vicinity! It's also going to find a way to keep the damn squirrels out of my attic and paint my house. All of my problems went away! It's a miracle!!

Hmm. It seems, it is desirable to wear one's penis and one does their hair, full and thick. I did not know that the Viagra package information had fine print similar to a shampoo bottle.

I didn't know I could get a "powerful" hard on. My hard on is so powerful, it is the new Prime Minister of Kandhaq. My hard on is so powerful, it commands armies of religious acolytes! All thanks to this new prescription medication! Thank you, Cialis!!

Despite their promises of curing all of my problems and being able to command an army of followers, I have to ask the spambots to please stop. Come on, it's just getting silly. Yes, I admire your tenacity, but I'm not going to buy your wares, no matter what. Well, ask me again in thirty years and we'll see.

William (not above dick jokes)
