It's All About the SPAM

A selection of Thirteen Pieces of Spam I've received this week
My comments in italics...

1. Check out the savings on generic drugs! Hmmm, could be interesting since I'm doing research on drugs for my current WIP. What is Cialis? Cialis is a prescription tablet to treat erectile disfunction. Oh, dang! Nope this drug won't be helpful for my WIP. I haven't given any of my characters this fatal flaw.

2. With penis enlarge patch your penis will not be scared of fresh acquaintances! But I don't own one so why would I need a patch?

3. Beware of fake pills! This one didn't mention any pills in the body of the email but they told me a weird story about my wife who was above the stairs cleaning. Scratching head...

4. I spotted a green, unwinking star and felt a lump in my throat. Maybe they should have entered the Samhain First line contest?

5. Why be an average guy any longer? I was frightened to read further. I think they're talking about "it" again!

6. Buy OEM software. Thank you for the suggestion but I have all my software needs taken care of. At least it didn't mention the "p" word.

7. Heightened Libido. Be ALL the man you can! Who doesn't like a large penis? Men like having them and women love... Definitely talking about "it" again. Do they know something I don't?

8. Handbags! Exquisite replica watches! At last, something I might be interested in.

9. Appetite control! Increased metabolism and calorie expenditure. Now they're cooking! But how did they know my jeans are at bursting point. Glances anxiously over shoulder in search of "big brother" cameras.

10. Join the millions. Ooh, I can be part of the "in" crowd. What is Cialis? An erectile disfunction tablet... Aw, gee whiz. I have to have an "it" to join the in crowd.

11. Penis enlargement patch - no other man will dare have compassion for you. Yeah, that's because after one look at my "it" they're running for their lives in the opposite direction.

12. She will love you more than any other guy! Not if she sees an "it" on me. She'll be joining the men running for their lives.

13. Sex can be one of the most enjoyable parts of your life. What is Cialis? True, but really, I don't need Cialis. My husband would join the stampede, and the truth is after all the years I've spent training, I'd quite like to keep him.

I'd really like to know why Spammers continue to send Cialis type posts. Do people really buy their pills and patches? Or are they trying to make us all feel insecure about our sexuality?
