Ultimate Spam Thread

I have to hand it to these guys. Their creative use of language is sometimes quite impressive. Here's one I received tonight:

"Pleasing my mother via http://olpse.com/?eJAuzsJv into that snug
entrance where nobody's rod has ever entered"

-Edited the link to make it non-functional, duh.

That link will last a long time here! What are you doing looking at this kind of stuff on the 'net???

Go drive the Ferarri or entertain your girlfriend!

What's up with the nonsense speak on the spam e-mails these days? Is it to try and defeat the spam blockers?

Yes. Spam filters use what's called a Bayesian filter which calculates the spam ranking based on the content. Every word has a spam score; ie "viagra" would have a higher score than "turtle". Adding up all the word scores gives a spam score, so adding a nonsense paragraph brings down the overall spam score.
