Spam King Complains About Being Spammed

Filed under: Internet — Posted by Irony Queen on January 25th, 2006


Alan Ralsky, one of the original spam kings, complained when anti-spammers signed him up for junk mail lists without his permission. “They’ve signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is,” he told me. “These people are out of their minds. They’re harassing me,” he complained.

How Ironic is This??

1 Iron: Totally Lame
2 Irons: "Is that the best you can do?"
3 Irons: "Some might see some irony in this."
4 Irons: Tinged with Irony
5 Irons: Now That's Ironic!

    If it were a perfect world, spammers would be caught, and sent to jail with cells full of burly bikers that “built muscle with legal steroids!!!” “ENHANCED THEIR MALE MEMBER!!” took “GENERIC C-A-LIS!” and are “looking for a new relationship?”
