Oooooh now the spam monster is trying to be clever.. oh dear what next! Today on my long ago post ‘Chicken Chocolate’ the spam monster decided to spew up about a weight loss site. Well, least it’s trying to be relevant now.

Had some interesting spam today from a poster called Clare.
"This would amp up my year. Receiving money I didn’t work for. the people on this site are giving $100.00 for every Blog post you make for them on any different blog posting site. The faster we help them get to their goal the faster we too get our money! www.milliondollarcouple.com"
Basically, it seems to draw on the line of the student who sold pixels on a site to pay way through education. I recall another selling space on his own body (students go figure lol).

That’s it I have had about all I can take! Ok, some might point out that isn’t overly a great amount before I become grumpy and do the tigger moody dance. That aside, this week apart from being network hell on a stick, has seen a daily assault on my inbox from clever clog companies offering to sell me logos, update my web presence and brand me like so many texan cows. It isn’t uncommon, but considering the week I have had I am now taking this as a personal insult. Yes, it is jump mail and the control over that is like trying to control a toddler full of e numbers. When you actually work in the industry on your low ebb moments, getting one of those oh so helpful emails can lead you to a quick visit to mr aspirin bottle and a cliff top.

I always wander if anyone really does plan to become a link spammer. I mean is it some kind of new career guidance option? You’d be forgiven to think it actually was considering the amount.
