What She Said

I just got a spam message from a Violet Eaton. Before I got to the ad for .. er ..‘medical’ products I found the following message:

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Sleeveless!

Sleeveless, I tell you!!!

3

Would it help if I treated it as poetry?

4

Maybe just bits of it.

Better?

Umm…no.
:wink:

5

… the Crystal People form of Haiku???

I’m not sure what the point of the random verbiage is, but I get those all the time. Random string of words in the subject, random words in the text, with an ad appended.

Might it be a device for getting past spam filters? I got two others shortly afterwards with similar junk. I’ve deleted them now but I think the subject was coherent, if completely unconnected to anything said in the message.

Hey Wombat, that’s an advertisement for losing weight, run through an online translation machine–Russian to English, but the machine couldn’t factor in all the street language idioms. :wink:

Wombat, that there’s Dada Spam. Just radical art that has nowhere further to go but keeps trying.

I think you’re right. It was certainly a found object. I found it in my inbox. But don’t ask me where the spammer found it.

Oh sorry, Lorenzo already knows.
