So, what this email is telling me is that they are monitoring my illegal activities, and that rather than be worried about being arrested and thrown in jail, I should be worried about losing my internet access. Right, I’ll be sure to be careful from now on, thanks for the heads-up.
On the end of each month, the Spam of the Month title is given to the best spam received during the month. It might be funny, it might be outrageous, it might just be the most messed up thing ever to worm it’s way into my inbox. Whatever it is, it’s noteworthy.

>> Hilton, Lohan, Spears Apologize, Retire

How does one retire when one has no job? These women, especially Hilton, are famous for being famous, not because they have any real job to speak of. Aiming a camera at someone doesn’t make them an actress and putting a microphone in someone’s hand doesn’t make them a singer. Apologize? Damn right they should.
