Don’t you just love spam emails?  To me, some of the greatest copywriters on the web are by far and large the spammers. The misspellings and sentence structure is so amazingly genius and talented. Here’s a real spam email gem that just came in:

Ni hao,

Fuck beer! Got sexy girl?

His ears fell at once in talk with his new neighbour, you
must admit that that was unfortunate. It depends little

sure when right. Goodbye till by urgent dressmakers. Her

been the who comes? As if a train of powder laid from the
mother’s brother with whom she’d had a frightful instant,

Which leads me to thinking. Are web designers more akin to getting more spam email than the general public? Seems like I always hear family members bitching “oh my goodness I got a spam email last July that said Viagra and penis and I was just blown fuckin’ away appalled!” or some such shit like that. One a year? Us web designers get several per second. It’s like that race where they raced a motorcycle, a Corvette or something, and a Harrier fucking jet. Except in the web design comparison, the race would be like watching paint dry vs. the speed of smashed particles around the Large Hadron Collider at CERN type of thing. Son of a bitch.
