Spam Doesn't Work?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the so-why-do-people-do-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Businesses who believe the hype that spam works should read this article. It seems that the more recipients that you spam, the less likely they are to respond (startlingly obvious, but this seems to prove it)." Somehow I doubt this. If Spam didn't work, why do I get a hundred pieces of it every morning? Someone is buying.

    I have gotten into the habit of changing email addresses every few months cause I just get so much spam. You can't unsubscribe from any of it, its just easier to get a different email address, and tell the people I want to converse with my new addresses.

    My penis is 12" long, and I have never run out of laser toner. Surely this proves it!?
    But you can't get those 12 inches a hard-on, right???
