Cornucopia Of Spam Bills

frankie writes "Anti-spam legislation is getting serious attention from the U.S. Congress and the media. Several bills are on the front burner, including REDUCE, CAN SPAM, and a RICO amendment. However, the strongest contender is a new bill sponsored by Billy Tauzin (R-La.). It would allow spam from any company you've done business with in the past 3 years, override stronger state laws, and block private lawsuits. You can complain now or complain more later."

    Spam Bill Spam!

    Quick, find a spam bill and forward it to 15 of your friends, with a note that says Bill Gates will give them a thousand dollars if they forward it to 15 of their friends.

    Bill Gates will give you a thousand dollars if you do.

    What is the world coming to?

    Why don't you send a letter to Alan Ralsky, one of the largest spammers around, and ask him this question.

    Or better yet, order him a pizza and a few cabs.

    The stupid moron was dumb enough to use his home address to register his business.

    I'm gonna drive over there right now and take picures of the next 24 hours.

    Cheetos,
