Junkie Loves His Spam

    FREAK!!!

    I think the term you were looking for is "sad pathetic freak!!!". Bookmark this page and if you are ever feeling a little down, re-read this and reflect on the sad empty life that this guy leads. He responds to spam as a way to get gratification, sure all impulse shoppers do this, but at some point, you have to wonder if the attraction of spam over surfing for the same trash is that the direct request gives him the impression that some one is paying attention to him, so he responds positively in order to please the attention giver . So very sad, especially when you consider that his actions impose third party costs on all of us by encouraging spammers.
