SPAM University & Nigerian Email Conference

Two humorous links for a change:

The first is to the site of SPAM University: Here are two of the courses they offer:

• The History of Spam
  Required course. Gain a historical perspective on your chosen profession. For example, you'll learn that the term SPAM is actually an acronym for Stupid People Always Multiply (and that's a good thing).

• The Science of Writing Subject Lines
  Discover the secrets to writing successful subject lines, such as "Why Pay More?", Viagra 1/2 Off!", and the ever-popular "ÂÖåó ÇèóÌØáù Æб»ÛýÀ."

The second is to the Nigerian Scam Email Conference web site:

"Write better emails. Make more moneys."

I am Mr. Laurent Mpeti Kabila, a senior assistant leader of the Revolutionary United Front of Sierra Leone.

I present to you an urgent and confidential request: I request your attendance at The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference. This is an excellent opportunity to meet your distinguished colleagues, learn new marketing techniques, and spend your hard-earned money. Attending this conference demands the highest trust, security and confidentiality between us.

Go there! Have fun!

Tomorrow we can continue our exploration of the continuing tragedy of the Bush agenda.
