can't tell the truth without lying, but I'm missing you, baby

I'm familiar with the habit of spam containing random text, which I assume is to give it enough of a word count that it passes certain filters. I've even seen spam that contains bits of what are apparently stories, if incredibly badly written ones. But I just got a spam message that contained a quote... well, I'll post it for you, and you can see why I think it's an odd juxtaposition.

There's a picture of a topless brunette sucking her finger, above which are the words, "Naughty teens getting fucked!" (They get points for using a brunette, and for using one with small breasts).

Then it reads:
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal. The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain. There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying. It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

***** (o) ***** ***** (o) ***** ***** (o) *****

Other observed oddness-
While riding in a car yesterday, my friend pointed out a license plate frame that had Andrea across the top. On the bottom it read I miss you, baby!

We couldn't decide if Andrea is/was a spouse, girlfriend, child, or other relative, and whether or not she's alive, dead, or ran away and has been missing, in which case her status would be unknown. I keep trying to figure out a logical reason for putting this message on a license plate holder, but I suspect I'm probably running into my usual problem, that of thinking there must be some sort of logic behind it.

Why would you put a message on a license plate holder? Particularly a message like that? If you've got ideas, I'd love to hear them.

absurdities, sociology
