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.

    What a very clever joke!! I wish I had thought of that one.

    Tell it again! Tell it again!

    First of all there is the annoyance factor. Today I recieved 7 messages from 7 different addresses and they all had the same thing. A picture of a naked woman...the same woman in all 7 messages. Since I never know who is going to be in my house at any given time this is not appropiate.
    How could a picture of the body of a female member of your species be not appropriate? You must have pretty much warped values, under that rock where you live!!!
