The Design-Time Developer

I'm no arsonist, but...

I'm sure that some of the recipients of the email with the following subject may interpret it differently than intended, especially given the current frustration around spam:

Participate in InternetOpinionGroup now and get gasoline on us

You would think that with all the money these spammers make, they could at least hire a decent copywriter.  I also alwasy got a kick out of the "refinance your mortgage emails"... before I owned a home.  I guess the term "targeted marketing" doesn't mean anything to spammers.

What was the craziest spam message that you ever received?  Do you think that spam is ever going to go away?
