  Of course not. He doesn't want to be spammed with real messages. He's probably even got an E-mail filter that removes everything but spam.

  I remember the days when you could give out your email address on the web (like on your own website!) and you would only get meaningful email
  
  Yeah, that was a good week.

There is only so much male enhancement products a man can buy.

They seem to be the only spam i've been getting lately. Maybe my wife is feeding them my email addresses...

  Reminds me of a spoof spam male enhancement pyramid scheme.
  You divide your penis into one inch parts and send them off to the people on the list and forward the email on.
  Within a week you will receive 20feet of penis.

  I've thought it would be funny to buy and use each and every penis enlargement product pitched to me via spam for one year, and document the results on a weblog. At the end of that year, I bet my schlong would be enormous.

Ah, I get it now. Those "enlarge your penis" spams really do work - if you respond to them, you're nothing but a big dick.

How much can one actually love spam? Its not like there is a huge selection of products. Mr. Soto can now claim the following:
- He has the world's largest penis, that is never flacid.
- He makes $10k working at home in his spare time.
- He's seen Paris Hilton nekkid more than anyone.
- His wife's breasts are larger.
- He has the lowest mortgage rate in the world.

We should encourage spam buying by pyser · 2004-03-16 04:47 · Score: 5, Funny

According to the article it takes one buyer out of 15,000 e-mails sent in order to break even. If more people would buy from spam, they'd have to send out fewer e-mails to break even, right?
