Seriously, how weird must you be to fall for this shit?<\/p>\n

Normally spam is just annoying but today I got one that I cannot imagine anyone could be stupid enough to fall for. It was from Woody Allen, who apparently is a big yahoo fan because his email is\u00a0adaer22@yahoo.com and the reply to is\u00a0zbgfsgdr@yahoo.com . I guess it is not THAT Woody Allen because the real thing could probably afford allen@woody.com \u00a0– although having the domain name woody.com could possibly set one up for a whole different type of spam email.<\/p>\n

This Woody Allen apparently works at NCR Corporation. I am sure National Cash Registers is really interested in statistical consulting and has a lot of SAS and SPSS macros they want me to write for them. As they say, they “offer great interest to do a purchase agreement”. The fact that they can’t work a function to pull my name from a list or figure that the number 4 comes between 3 and 5 would never make me wonder if this was a real email.<\/p>\n

Just as the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math and cocaine is God’s way of telling you that \u00a0you’re making too much money, I believe spam like this is a penalty on stupid people who use the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
