Spam

Sometimes spam manages to slip through the filters and finds itself in my work mail inbox. I always get spam that slipped through quarantine which are in Chinese, Greek, and occasionally content that has jumbled up kinda symbols. Then there are English ones where some rich bloke wants to share his inheritance with you. There’s also other English ones like this one I got about 30 minutes ago.

It’s OK if you found my email address on my company website

It’s OK if you don’t understand that you should contact me only if you’re interested to speak in any of our 6 conferences

It’s OK if you call me “Sir”

And its perfectly OK if you try to sell me your products and services.

But, could you at least check if I’m in your part of the country in order for your spam to appeal to me?

Marketers, now this works!

Saw this in Ikea the other day when Dave and I were looking for materials for our *sekret* project. Dictionary.com defines the word Groggy as:

staggering, as from exhaustion or blows
dazed and weakened
drunk; intoxicated

Now what would be a more appropriate name to you give your corkscrew?

Marketers, tell me this doesn’t work

You’re in desperate need of some quick money because you need to make your “Slim Dream” come true. Not only you have flabby thighs and arms buy also you have unsightly bread face (wtf is this anyway), eye bulge, double chin and you so need a nose reshape.

This 7 Days Slim Jet Therapy doesn’t come cheap, and being tight on cash you look no further but to seek the Thai Master who’s kuasa is diakui (his power is like no other). You imagine yourself like the guy with the shovel digging in the wrong places. You don’t want to be like that so you go to the Thai Master because he can give you “magical, accurate and fast” result.

As he proclaims; kuasa ajaib yang mengharapkan ubahan sedang menunggu anda (the magical powers of the change you wish for is waiting for you); you seek free consultation by calling 019-704 6760.

You are so convinced that the 4D numbers the Thai Master will pick out for you is going to win the 1^st prize, just like how this person did, as advertised on his brochure.

Soon you realise, he was a joke.

The smart way to get around that and still achieve your “Slim Dream” was Smartway Solution. Very easy, just SMS your details and you can get loans approved even without a guarantor. Specially for government servants, factory workers, employees getting salaries paid through bank transfers, private sector employees and those on pension. So easy can???

Marketers, tell me this doesn’t work.

I get tons of these brochures on my car windscreen everyday and it’s just contributing to landfill. What they should do is to hire Buzzmedia to get themselves more business and higher revenues through the internet.

‘Nuff said.
