KilroyTheVeg writes "The Mercury News reports that the California Attorney General, Bill Lockyer, filed suit against Internet marketer PW Marketing LLC, accusing the company of illegally spamming millions of Californians. The Story is here and the Sidney Morning Herald also has the story here. The suit named PW Marketing LLC (note:subpoena in link is third one down the page) and its owners Paul Willis and Claudia Griffins defendants in the suit which seeks "at least" $US2 million from them for allegedly flouting several state consumer protection laws banning spam mail. All I can say is Make 'em pay, it's the only way to hurt 'em where it counts." Update: 09/30 22:02 GMT by T : Note, that's Sydney Morning Herald.

> some Californian politicians were unimpressed when they're penis didn't GROW FOUR TO FIVE INCHES OVERNIGHT. Also, it seems that some lesbian twins didn't want their 'hot bodies' after all.
Close, but not quite. I know for a fact that it was Gray Davis who's seriously pissed off because he doesn't yet have his 15% of the $52,109,995 THAT THE GREAT GRAND-NIECE OF UN SECRETARY GENERAL KOFI ANNAN ASKED HIM TO HELP SPIRIT AWAY IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT FROM THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA BEFORE THE NEXT BUDGET :-)
