Idiots With E-Mails....

My second non-video post in a row, I know - but this is important.

What gets into the heads of some people - it's bad enough that they spam-mail innocent people (read: me) by e-mail, but the fact that they preface their spam with ramblings that your average electro-shock therapy patient would be embarrassed to babble is just too stupid for words. Stupid, I tell you!!

An example, you say?

Well, for starters, I refuse to acknowledge the sender of this stupidity because Lord knows they don't need any more exposure, and I won't even talk about what they were spamming. The letter itself was headed thusly:

Sure. Makes sense...in a stupid, moronic way.

But why stop there? Just before they inundate me with whatever the heck it is they're hawking (honestly, I don't even remember what it is and don't care to look it up again) they preface it with the following; shown here, in its unexpurgated form:

But I don't just...what; want to beat you over the head with your stupid spamming computer screen? Yeah, I do.

So, if you know who these people are or if you are one of them, tell them this - or take heed of this sage advice yourself....

STOP IT.

Thank you. And Dope out.
