More comment spam

[pecunium]

For some reason my post about the dojo's annual party seems to be the popular one with comment spammers. It was the one which had the least delay before being spammed, and has gotten more than any other.

Yesterday had the one which seemed the least well thought out to me... pheremone perfume.

This stuff has been being touted for decades. Purely based on the lack of it taking over the market, I figure it's snake-oil. The stuff I got spammed for yeasterday was snake-oil snakes with no brains.

Because it was promising that women would be, practially, fighting to get near me, that they would line up in ranks for the chance to talk to me. Why? Because it has "lesbian" pheremones.

Assuming they are right, this is one stupid pitch. If it attracts lesbians, why would I, a male, want it? Because while it might (assuming they are correct) get their attention, I'm not going to be what they are interested in.

An hour later I got another piece of spam, same product; same url, no lesbians. This one was more a "Penthouse Letters" sort of deal, with out the explicit details.

Today I got one for the more usual "real deal, no more ripoffs" penis enlargement patch. I'm sure it's as useful as the "lesbian pheremones."

Just don't use the penis enlargement patch and the lesbian pheromones at the same time.

There's no telling what might happen then.

It's the back-to-back ads to enlarge my breasts, and my penis which I'm leery of.

Did you get my address?

Yes!

I emailed you a manuscript copy. It's about a year and a lot of edits from being in galley form.

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

Where did you send it? Because I've not seen it.

Hmm.

To your email address.

I shall try again

The breast enlargement, penis enlargement, lesbian attracting group ads are geared to a very specific crowd. It's not anyone, as you may well think since EVERYONE gets that spam. Oh, no. It's for for mtf transsexuals who do not wish to actually have their penis removed Unfortunately the spammers haven't figured out how to get their messages out to that specific crowd, so they just spam everyone.

Honest. I wouldn't make something like this up. *crosses fingers* The guy who let me give him my bank account numbers because he's got an extra $2 million dollars in an African bank account explain the whole thing to me.

Terry, go check out crzmslmaven. She's Navy; she was there when you were; she writes really well.

Did you see that at cmpriest's? Because there are a number of familiar names giving her the credit.

Thanks, I needed that.

I wrote a response, if you want to read it.

Yes, I did. I haven't met Cherie yet, though she lives in Seattle. Our circles are small and overlapping enough that I will soon.

There needs to be some other locution than "I liked that" to praise good writing about awfulness. I read your response; it's moving.
