30 years of SPAM!!!

[monsta666]

On May 3 1978 the first spam message was sent to 400 people. So today is the 30th birthday of spam! I know not many people will be celebrating this event especially mods out there! Anyway to "celebrate" this occasion let us hear what's your most annoying form of spam. Nonsense gibberish, annoying ads, chain messages anything goes! Remember the more ridiculous it is the better!

For me I would say one the most annoying ads are those e-mails which encourage you to talk to some hot girl. I can't help but feel the bird is really a old bloke who knows something about computers...

For those curious to know more, here is an article:

For me, the most annoying ads are the e-mails that tries to sell me stuff(mostly cleaning stuff that don't work anyway).

I get these stupit ads every once in a while.......

Every kind of...
Or if i had to choose, then... classic *penis enlarger* & *cheapes drugs in the web* or sth spam.

I once had this spammail from... africa?
about some rich family that holds a great fortune, but died in a plane crash, and that they are still trying to find out what to do with the money, and if I'd reply to that huge ass mail, I would join the person who sent me that mail to try to get a huge amount of their money.

biggest bullshit I've ever read, but the mail was really big. Can't believe someone would actually try to make it a convincing spam letter like that =__=

the most annoying ones are those wish chain letters with graphics from keys to form a star or heart or whatever that gets forwarded so much that they're already distorted all because they believe they'll have bad luck if they don't.

then there's that thing.. also from africa - can't remember the country. the one with the fuel company where they got a kickback of a chunk of cash but are unable to get them out so they need my account number so they can disposit there and i'll get a commission for my help. right... what would they do with the money i don't have saved up???

The ads/banners saying things like "Meet a hot girl near you". Those are the most annoying and frequent.

Next come emails about "cheap viagra" or "penis enlargement". But who would actually open an email that was titled "ChEA p VIAG$ra here!" and give their credit card info?
