"Spam King" Agrees to Stop Spamming For Now
Sandman writes "The AP is reporting that so called "Spam King" Sanford Wallace has agreed to stop spamming... at least temporarily until the FTC suit is settled" At best this is a precursor of things to come, and at worst it's a nice break.
I *need* to know Candy misses me!
a billion to go...
but he'll be back
Wasnt this just reported yesterday? But it was under the title.. going to stop sending spyware, for now?
Where am I going to buy my Penis Enlargement pills now?!?!?
just because your a schizophrenic doesn't mean people arn't really out to get you
I didn't vote for him!
We're all adults here, you can swear..
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
The Spam King will eventually be betrayed by his ex-best friend, Mr. Spam, and trapped under an avalanche of junk mail on forbidding Widow's Peak.
I ain't evil, I'm just good looking.
due to the karmic implications of the activities of spammers and spyware operators, asmodeus, mouthpiece of hell, would like to inform us that a new, technologically advanced circle of hell has formed recently. hell has said that over the course of its illustrious history, it has remained up-to-date with the various technological advances that its human fodder have created, and is happy to say hell is now no push over in the cyberspace department. just recently, hell's IT department was able to successfully woo and hire the BSD demon.
asmodeus, on behalf of himself, beelzebub, azazel and baal, would also like to thank spammers and spyware creators for their innovations. they have been having a lot of fun playing with the new gadgets and technological doodads in this new circle and thinking up well, devilish new uses for them. just yesterday baal and azazel, after a rousing game of gta: san andreas, quite proudly demonstrated their wonderful new DDoS nipple clamps and botnet dental drills. The BSD demon cackled and chortled and choked on a packet in appreciation.
the gang down there would also like to remind all spammers and spyware operators that this new circle of hell has amazing bandwidth capacity for eternal delivery of viagara and vioxx offers straight to the frontal cortex, representing a coup in the r&d department of the lost souls there, who will of course, never benefit from the ip capital of their hard work.
spammers and spyware operators, azazel reminds us, will find that a *warm* reception will be awaiting them when they arrive in this new technologically advanced circle of hell.
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
And he kept doing it anyway. I don't believe a word the bastard says. Hell, if the asshole get's whacked tomorrow, I wouldn't beleive the obituary. If I saw the fuck's corpse maybe (and provided it wasn't disfigured - I've listened that episode of The Shadow.)
Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead, Zagreus sees you in your bed and eats you in your sleep.
Surprising. I would have thought that such a successful advertising company would want the world to beat a path to their door.
noes? Jesus fuck.
This same tired joke, or variations of it, gets regurgitated in every single god damn spam story, and some wanker with his dick in his mitts goes ahead and marks it funny. Are you kidding? This shit isn't funny at all, and it isn't even funny thinking about the sad fuck that things it's funny.
I'm sure it won't be long until he moves to the Cayman Islands, buys a white suit, gains some pounds and answer a certain phonecall regarding one of his customer's transactions regarding enlargement pills.
Wallace: I'm sorry, I cannot divulge information about that customer's secret illegal account.
Oh crap. I shouldn't of said he was our customer.
Oh crap! I shouldn't of said it was a secret.
Oh crap! I certainly shouldn't of said it was illegal.
Ah.. it's too hot today.
No. see what happened is this. A large number of people recieved new computers as gifts for Christmas and unplugged their old computers. An army of zombies vanished in a single day.
Within a week the new machines were all infected and things returned to "normal".
Appended to the end of comments you post. 120 chars.
Now, now, let's not be too harsh. What career opportunities exist for reformed spammers? No, seriously. We should be looking at rehabilitating them, possibly in a role that is inversely proportional to the annoyance and frustration that they have collectively foisted on the billions that they have plagued.
PS Does my use of the word, "foist" earn extra points?
Guys, I know spammers are not nice people, but *please* make sure you do not sign his business address (11 Farmington Road, Rochester, New Hampshire 03867. (extracted from the FTC complaint)) for any sweepstakes, printed catalogs, gay literature or any other thing that might overload his postal address.
After all, spammers have already expressed their discontent with this practice, and Im certain none of us would like to upset these outstanding individuals any further.
Again, that is 11 Farmington Road, Rochester, New Hampshire 03867.
My other OS is the MCP!
