2:56:00 PM Cute Spam

Ok I dunno why it struck my fancy so well but I got some spam that I thought was just... cute! The spam's subject was "SURPRISE YOUR COMPUTER" and in the spam they tried to hock $50 copies of pirated Windows XP. The idea of surprising my computer with a present made me giddy :) I imagined myself as joe computer user with a blue-screen-filled windows 98 box getting that email and imagined myself imagining what it'd be like to upgrade to Windows XP and make everything pretty and green like the ads-- and how this advertisement was making it affordable finally to upgrade-- I'd suprise my computer because it would never expect me to be able to afford Windows XP-- but at these prices, I'll buy 2 copies!!

But wait, wtf am I saying? My computer already knows I got this message! Well jeeez--THANKS FOR RUINING THE DAMN SURPRISE.. FUCKING SPAMMERS!
