Awesome Spam

I normally just throw my spam away, but a piece today caught my eye. To all other spammers: Be this awesome (or more so), and I might actually have a laugh before deleting your message:

Of course this isn’t legitimate, but it’s an improvement on the usual fare – penny stock manipulation, male enhancement products, etc etc. Thanks for playing, you won an internet!

    You need to really think about expanding this site into a major authority in this niche. You obviously have a grasp knowledge of the areas all of us are searching for on this blog anyways and you could definitely even make a dollar or three from some advertising. I would explore following recent news and increasing the volume of articles you make and I guarantee you’d start receiving some easy traffic soon. Just a thought, good luck regardless!
