Myspace is full of endless amusement. My email Inbox just vomited a bunch of "New Myspace Message" notifications all within the span of a single minute. No surprise, it was spam. But what amused me more was the lame attempts at making the messages look a little more personal than the flat-out spam they obviously were. I had 8 messages, all sent at the exact same time.
Two began with:
"why dont we talk much anymore? too good for me or something? hit me back sometime, geez."
Two had a similar vein:
"WHERE HAV U BEEN?! you keep ignoring mE dammit! LOL!"
As did this one:
"hey why dont you ever msg me anymore? well i found this site and i thought about u."
Three started off with the usual "nice profile" dealie.
And of course, all of them ended with the website they were trying to promote.
It made me giggle, and ordinarily I wouldn't bother blogging about it, but hey-- I wasn't aware that I was remiss in not talking more often to people I'd never heard of (and that frankly, don't even exist :-P).
Gotta hand it to the spammers-- at least the profiles weren't blank, they all had pictures and regular-sounding names to make them look like real people!
