Spam subject titles

[Sock Puppet]

Spammers keep trying to get around subject-line-dependent e-mail filters, apparently by using various random-phrase generators. Some of these end up sounding unintentionally brilliant. I went away for a 4-day weekend, and the following were waiting in my inbox:

"As complain in concentrate cove" - almost an old Pink Floyd lyric.

"My worry be oecumenical expose" - You and me both, brother.

Got any favorites?

For months I would keep getting one with the subject line..

"the whore lived like a German"

now I get mostly "h00d1a as seen on 60 minutes"

The latest and greatest, courtesy of my inbox: passer some last rank autoclave a dissident and ..
...you can autoclave dissidents? But they're porous!

Man, these are cool! I almost regret having a really excellent spamfilter.

No fair. I get tons of spam through the mailbox I have with my ISP, which is an address I don't use to register anywhere. Even Yahoo does a better job than they do in regards to spam filters.

I get "such and such message was blocked" messages from the server at work. Click on the message to view, may contain offensive material, yadda yadda. Of course, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a spam filter if the notice messages fill up the inbox, but I suppose if it got annoying I could just write a rule to send them to the cornfield. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the subject lines.

I know! like, what does that even mean?? I saw it 10 times a day for a month before it finally stopped.

I almost miss seeing it.

[Sock Puppet]

Damn. Only one today: "For hear a acumen."

You know excitement is at a low ebb when you start looking forward to spam.

If it keeps up, I could turn it into a divination system -- or at least a cryptic fortune cookie.

[curses]

Only one? I'll send you some of mine, which include the following:

scatterbrain rabbet aryl
cpa windbreak cross tracery aqueduct coherent
swank may santiago fortune strut or mcpherson
reverse ! roach freed distant a protean may anti
inspector sulfur
bar runic j's perish notion procrastinate coffin
Constanta see, archipelago be masterful

I like the divination system idea. But you could amuse your friends with the cryptic fortune cookies..

My spam filter screens for fuckbuddies in my area.

I had to mostly abandon the Yahoo! email address I used for years when the spam content exceeded 100 emails a day, 10 or 20 of which wouldn't get filtered. I almost never get spam since switching to gmail, but then I also never give my new primary email address to anyone I don't personally know. Anyway I scanned the first 200 spams in my Yahoo! box just now and this is the only semi-amusing one. Not even very dadaesque, just a silly Hindu drug advertisement:

My new favorite spam subject of the day:

kill

Simple and to the point. I like it.

[ms_ann_thrope]

No good spam today for me (yet), but I figured this was a good a place as any to pop in and tell vm that I am totally grooving on his new Bukowski avatar!

[viscousmemories]

Thanks! I've been a fan of Bukowski for a long time so I asked liv to hook me up and she kindly obliged.

Spermamax improves not only your sperm quantity but also its quality.
Cum like a bison with Spermamax.
When she swallows your sperm with Spermamax it’s like she’s having a dinner.
It’s very filling and healthy.

I may want to change my username.

[curses]

That's the best thing I've read all day! *minus the prezzie thread..that one's great*

Spermamax. It's like taking her to dinner, but free for you.

[D. Scarlatti]

I just got one from Jerrold Faulk, the subject is "alfred physiognomy" and the message consists entirely of one word: "bumble."

What the fuck is up with that.

[viscousmemories]

Beat poetry?

I had this one this morning...

Afraid to fcuk with your small gun?

It's kinda funny that in their attempts to avoid spam filters, they have to use titles that are immediately identified as spam by their incoherency.

Which only makes me suspect that spamming may be becoming less profitable since they can't be fooling anybody with those, except for retards, so they can't possibly be making as much money from sending those emails.

Then again, never underestimate the amount of stupidity out there, they may still be solidly in the profitable range.

I now keep a Notepad file shortcut on my desktop, to collect these messages from the Great Spam Oracle.

And, my recent favorite:

Just received a message from one Henpeck J. Barf.

I wonder if anyone of those subject lines are anagrams? or maybe I have been reading the Da Vinci code too much.
