Today's spam
So, amidst the myriad messages offering me a larger penis, bigger breasts, greater memory capacity, accelerated lovelife and jobs working at Fortune 500 companies like McDonalds (none of which I'm all that interested in), I noticed one today that claims to have caught me naked on tape, and offers me a link to the relevant video.
Now, I almost never check my spam, but this caught my eye. And it made me think. First, I wondered who in their right mind would bother to get me naked on tape. It's not like I'd care that much, even if such a thing WERE to exist. Hell, a significant number of my friends have told me I look like a porn star, so maybe it'd just be reality's way of making sense of itself.
Second, I wondered why I'd want to see such a video. Now, if the offer had said "send us $10 for the only copy", that would make sense to me (to some extent, anyways). But, on the off chance I want to see myself naked, I've got this miraculous device called a 'mirror' mounted in my bathroom, and it's quite well adapted to the task.
Finally, I can't think of anyone, myself or otherwise, who'd be interested in watching said video for any reason. So, even if they DID have it, what possible profit could there be?
Interestingly, the link looks like it DOES go to some video or another. I suspect a Rickroll, or Two Girls One Cup, or some other such nonsense, but I'm wise enough not to check. My brain might explode, after all, should it turn out to be even worse (Three girls, one cup, done to an Astley musical number?)
Also, rats ate my cubes again tonight. Had they not, I totally would have won. ALSO. I lost Vegas Showdown by ONE CARD. Had it been on top, I would have soared into the lead. Alas!
