The spam you’re about to read is real. Only the names and links have been changed to protect the innocent (namely, me).

Hello my friend!
I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog, if medicine prices here (http://www.thebigbookofspam.com) are bad.

Look, the site and call me 1-800 if its wrong..
My dog and I are still alive :)

From the spectacular and eye-catching subject line, I fully expected to be blown away. I wasn’t disappointed. I wonder what order he intends to carry out his threat in? I wouldn’t put it past a spammer to kill himself and then try to eat the dog. I tried to call him, but nothing happened when I punched in the number. Oh, well. I guess he’s a goner. One less spammer in the world!
On the first of each month, the Spam of the Month title is given to the best spam received in the previous 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.
