Spam, Spam, Spam

Echoes of Monty Python in my head! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh

Just like everyone else in the internet world, I get a lot a great deal of Spam. Enormous amounts, in fact, although it's safe to say that my daily amount of Spam hasn't yet caught up to the amount of catalogs I recieve between...oh, October and December? Imagine! Catalogs for things you didn't even know existed! Or that you wanted! Whatever will you do? (straight into the recyling bin, if you please, Mr. Mailman!)

No, we inhabitants of the little ole world known as the world wide web innundated with Spam. In terms of...parts per million...my neighborhood's occupants are probably receiving as much Spam now as....the number of mosquitos you find in my front yard in July. Come on, you've been in my yard, you know you need a beekeeper suit to get from your car to my front door!

Some Spam can be informative:

Boston Proper: Sexy Winter Sweaters on Sale!!

Bloomingdale's: Welcome to our 25% off and more long Weekend Sale

Public Radio Market: Great New Books for Music Lovers

Some Spam is just, well, Spam:

Joe's Warehouse: Doony and Booke Bags in half off!!!

P*n&S: All HERBAL Viiiiiaagggraaaa!

And some Spam, well, you wonder how you got it:

"Eliza!!! Keisha05 at BlackPlanet has viewed your page and has left you comment!"

WTF?

Now I looked at this email, and it really is to me...to my actually, correctly spelled, legitimate email address. I've never heard of that site, been to that site, and can't think of anyone who (seriously) would sell my demographic information to a marketer who could be that, well, stupid!

I think there is an internet Imp out there who has it in for me. Last year it was the continual porn emails. Now I've moved on to porn from friend sites! Help!!!
