Spam news headlines

Just when I thought my spam filter was exceptionally effective, this gem proved otherwise: "Trapped Chinese miners survive on coaal and urine diet"

Some of these are pretty good joke headlines a la the Onion or the Chaser

Except that they're aimed towards a cruder mindset than the onion; one which considers the idea of homosexuality to be a joke in itself, for example.

Someone must have done some analysis of spam phrasing. But is there any concrete data on who purchases via spam and which phrasings were most effective? Then again, most spam appears to be scam-based rather than simply pushing some sort of product. I can't imagine any of these companies actually conducting any form of legitimate business.

One of the greatest stories that Borges never wrote is the one about the computer scientist who becomes obsessed with the idea that spam must sometimes contain profound truths and works of art. He starts a small business, Shakespeare's Infinite Monkeys, which ostensibly specializes in antispam forensics, but in fact his objective is to analyse as much cialis of the world's corpus of spam as possible.
