Required Reading: Your Spam Folder

August 19th, 2008  |  Published in Web Stuff  |  1 Comment

Are you guys aware of the spam emails that are going around in the guise of breaking-news updates from MSNBC? I was just skimming my Gmail spam folder for misidentified messages when I saw these:

BREAKING NEWS: World Leaders Gather To Roast Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
BREAKING NEWS: [audio] Church Group Offers Homosexual New Life In Closet
BREAKING NEWS: Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French
BREAKING NEWS: McDonald’s Happy Meals In San Francisco To Include Gay Marriage License

Funny spam? I feel so conflicted.

EDIT: Someone already has a Tumblr blog going to collect the phoney MSNBC headlines.

    Looks to me like someone’s just throwing around old headlines from The Onion.
