Spam Spam Everywhere...

No, I'm not talking about the "meat in a can." There is literally spam all over our electronic lives. It permeates everything. I got a text message yesterday on my cell phone that was SPAM....Now of all places to get spam that one hurts the most b/c while I don't pay for a certain number of text messages per month those individuals who do are robbed of one of their "included messages." I understand about it flooding our email inboxes, and perhaps I just have too many inboxes so that makes me even more jaded towards it. The latest spot for spam that annoys me the most is right here on my "lovely" blog. Now, why is it that they can SPAM me when I'm ranting and raving? I don't care though, I will continue to rant and rave as long as I can about it. It's MADNESS. It's more madness than psychiatric nursing in a handbasket. I mean, seriously is there no end to spam. As much as we try to thwart it, nothing ever seems to work. The spam monster rears it's ugly head and continues to tell us about penile enhancement, erectile dysfunction, prescription medications you can get for free, and everyone's favorite...Porn.

Who do these people think we are? Do they actually think I know anyone named "big tool?" Hello, I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. By far the most disconcerting part of the whole spam issue is when they send you an email using your own email address as the "sender." Come on...I am not senile yet, and I think I know when I don't send myself something. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it's not something you would want. I have yet to find anything good to come out of SPAM, but perhaps one day it will replace internet dating sites. Some spammer will hook up with someone he/she spammed and it will be "spam" at first sight. Imagine telling that story. How did you meet ?? Oh he sent me an email about erectile dysfunction and I just had to respond. RIGHT...WHATEVER...Enough is enough. I'm with BJ on this one. STOP THE MADNESS and let me spam the spammers for a while.
