The GMail Spam box

Perusing the subject lines in my Gmail box this evening.  There’s some real gems here:

Britney Spears Urged By President to Get Divorce
Perez Hilton to be sworn in as Israeli President?  (Huh.  I didn’t know he was circumcised…)
Paris Jail Sketch worth $100,000 (wow, for a crayon drawing?  What’s that god-awful poetry worth?)
Paris in for sex change?  [...]

Facebook stabbing game

Among some circles of my online friends, the running joke is that every time someone/something pisses us off online, we pine for an invention that allows one to stab people in the face over the internet.
It’s come to pass.  Almost.
