Why do spammers keep sending those lame viagra adds? I can't believe that anybody in the world would take those adds seriously and send these people any money, it can't be that they ever had one moment of succes in their lives as internet entrepeneurs. And the fact that 50% of all those viagra adds pretends to be a 'reply'....  Do these people realy think that anybody would think along these lines:"oh, i must have forgotten that i've send an e-mail about viagra to a legitimate company...well apparently i have, so i must have realy wanted their viagra"? If they would advertise for medication against alzheimer's dissease, using this tactic it might actually work for some people, maybe. The fact that all these legitimate pharmaceutical companies apparently cannot find staff that can spell 'generic viagra' properly, also doesn't raise suspicion in any of their clients i suppose?

I like getting them. They remind me that I don't need them. Yet...  JBArk The virile  JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

Yep, bizzare isn't it? But then again if you cast enough nets you're bound to catch a fish or two... I did meet a chap who was buying counterfeit Viagras from India-they were called Biagra!   I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

You could say the same for the classic "My name is Odawa ottunbungawaya, and I am a lawyer for Mr Lorrels who died recently, and I need to release his estate worth $4 million, perhaps you can help??" type nigerian scam, but sure enough, people fall for them, get hoodwinked out of their money, and then are left scratching their heads wondering what happened. It takes nothing for that person to send that email to 1 million email addresses - if just 1 of those million take the bait then it has been a great success, so I figure it's probably the same for spam viagra/xanax/whatever too.
