Where Ideas Come To Die

Spammers, I Salute You

For both your creative ways to get around spam blockers and your incredible stupidity in doing so.

I saw this in my mail box, getting through Mail's spam checker:

Asciispam-Html

I had no idea what they were selling so I viewed it as raw source:

Asciispam-Text

There we go. Cialis and Viagra, the standard stuff.

What struck me as being beyond dumb was that they sent this ASCII art spam as an HTML email with the ASCII wrapped in <pre> tags and set to an unspecified font size so it gets totally bastardized by the rendering engines.

Genius I tell you.
