Australian Spammer Sues Back

Posted by timothy on from the gird-well-your-loins dept.

The whole article is over at Yahoo. So, I guess now, not only are we subjected to the spam, but we can't block it either?"

    The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment for the victim. If spammers are put to sleep, we will see no justice.

    Why don't we lock the convicted spammers in a padded room with a television set to display an endless stream of infomercials, commercials, and religious programming with no way to turn it off? Better yet, we can have a pay-per-view 24/7 webcam focused on the spammer shackled to the wall that is subjected to this treatment. The webcam page can have pushbutton forms to impliment things such as water-drip torchure, the pneumatic ram punching glove hit him in the stomach gag, release one starved and abused lab rat, and other inventive buttons...

    I think spammers should be kept alive for humanitarian reasons such as these. They would benefit the world with stress research and the mentioned entertainment possibilities.

    Even spammers should be innocent until proven guilty. That's only fair, after all.

    As vermin rodents, Spammers shouldn't receive human rights.

    Spammer's servers might've been confiscated by the ISP.

    Or the spammer scum is just trying to slide extra costs in.

    Proletariat of the world, unite to kill spammers!
