In the past 30 days I received 167,000 spam messages. Fortunately all of those messages got caught by Gmail before being handed off to MobileMe which catches another 30 or so messages a day. Apart from that about 10 messages end up in my inbox.
Today I got this spam message which I just loved. The idea of some company somewhere trying to sell a wedding via spam? I mean, how insane can you get? I get the Viagra offerings and I’m sure some people buy those. But a wedding? Can you imagine telling your friends “Yeah, I got a spam message for a really cheap wedding and decided to go for it”.
But then I started thinking: that would actually be pretty funny. And at only 200,000 rupees a pretty good deal! Not sure about the romantic part but who cares about that. It is cheap!
So, without further ado: Hey Tessa, wanna marry me for 200,000 rupees?
Just remember, it will ‘Save your Time and Money and completely remove your stress’ and ‘Celebrating Weddings haven’t been so Easy !!!!!’.
This wedding is in Sri Lanka and the address is Sri Lankan.
Well, yeah. That is what makes it so hilarious. That they email me, in Amsterdam, for a goddamn wedding offer in Sri Lanka!
Wait, am I explaining the joke now? Damn.
you should be a bit flexible – we’re all children of this planet!
Did she say yes????
I think she did. Not sure. What do you think?

Could be a yes or no. I don’t get women… ;-)
