New Evidence for the Death Penalty

If the British "secret transsexual" dating show is a new low in reality TV, this is a new low in spam - fresh out of the box. I shant be clicking any of the links, but note the implicit threat that something will happen if you don't click over. I am certain the FBI will find this interesting:

    Your credit card will be billed at $22.95 weekly and free 3 pack of child porn CD is shipping to your billing address.

    To cancel your membership and CD pack please email full credit card details to ********

    Ready to play in the "shadows" and trade all types of underage porn?

    We have the best selection for every taste!

    Click the secret link below and have fun...

    ***********************
    NUDE BOYS UNDER 16 ******************
    NUDE GIRLS UNDER 16 ************************
    DADDY AND DAUGHTER *******************

I am opposed to the death penalty for a variety of reasons, but IF we are going to have the death penalty I'd like to see it applied to child pornographers, and those who spam for it.

    These blankety-blanks are going to convince me to give up email for good sooner rather than later. Of course, I do not advocate killing them -- I say send 'em to prison where they will suffer for their crimes against humankind.

    Sad to say, but pornographers are one of the few kinds of businesses making a profit on Internet.

    DEFINITELY not taking sides, but I would like to point out that these particular spammers are not child pornographers, they're just scammers trying to get recipients to send their credit card info. They are, of course, using fear, which has proven to be a good incentive.
    I remember reading that out of some 15 billion daily emails, 5 billion are crap like this....maybe more. I may give up email myself.

    when i get in to work after the weekend the amount of spam is frightening. out of an average of around 250 emails, about 225 of them are spam.
