Spam

Surely the point of spam is to get as many responses as possible?

That being the case, you have to wonder what percentage of the market the person sending spam marked "fat granny riding young cock" was expecting to be interested in their product.

I mean, I'm sure there's a _few_ people out there, but when 95% of your emails will get killed by filters, having 99% of the remainder deleted by people with a grimace on their face isn't really the response you'd hope for.

Unless, of course, this is one of those fetishes that's actually really popular amongst the general population that nobody ever talks about, because they think it'll make them look weird.

My favourite spam subject line recently was "JOHN: WELCOME TO THE AGE OF BIG PENIS".
