The Joys of Spam

Email that is, not the processed luncheon meat.

One of the joys of getting elected to Advisory Council after ICYPAA 48 is that I've quadrupled the amount of spam I receive. It's come to the point I enjoy reading the subject lines to see how creative and random the headings can be. The trend is mostly YOUNG GIRLS! with a combination of wet adjectives and/or animals. Or the cleverly disguised p*nis or two letters transposed like fcuking. And then there are always the anatomy (and I don't mean boobs) enlargement or stamina ads. Why I would want to look into that, I have no idea. I'm a girl for chrissakes! If I'm with someone who wants or needs that stuff, he can do the looking around on the internet, not me.


And now they have targeted me for my dating habits (or lack there of as the case may be). I'm not sure how, but I've gotten numerous emails about meeting Black Singles in My Area! Not that I have anything against meeting Black Singles (which are definitely better than meeting Black Unavailable-in-a-Long-Term-Relationship or Black Marrieds), but what about the White Singles? Hispanic Singles? Asian Singles? Anarchist Singles? I mean really, I'm separated now. I don't need to be limiting my dating pool. Bring it on, baby!

I had one the other day with the subject line of: Guten Tag, Jennifer. Hey, someone who knows me! I clicked on it, and dammit, more help for my "girth."

Great. Now I have about another thousand spam emails to expect. Spam away!

I get a lot of that spam as well. I think I've been target for the stamina and penis enlargement ads because I unfortunately have "lube" in my screen name. Maybe you're being target by black singles ads because you have "koko" in your screen name. Just a guess.
