Why, simply that you shouldn’t go to the Paris Hilton hotel right now, until they get the exterminator in….
(sometimes you have to wonder about spammers…)
just a FYI – there was a news blip about the latest wave of virus attacks are being sent in emails with weird headlines and hyper-links
Oh, if you get as much spam as I do then you are well aware of that.
Also my pal Otto, with whom I am staying, works in computer security. He’s a useful guy to know.
But spam headlines to give you an interesting insight into society. I think it is fairly safe to assume that spammers choose their headlines fairly carefully, based on what has caught stupid people out in the past. And from this we can conclude that stupid people (or at least the sort of people who get caught by spam) are overwhelmingly:
– American
– Xenophobic
– Homophobic
– Male
– Obsessed with sex
– Either can’t get a girl or have wives who are disappointed in them
Some of them are also considerably more stupid than it takes to merely be caught out by spam. One of my recent favorite headlines (which appeared last week) warned us that Hurricane Katrina was headed for the Pacific Northwest.
