What my spam folder says about me....

I've recently, for the modest entertainment it provides decided to let the enormous amount of spam I receive on my hotmail account build up before deleting it.

However, when looking at the common themes repeated ad nauseam, I began to worry. Am I being targeted for specific advertisements through some sort of targeted advertising?

Do they know me better than myself?

Hmm - time to look through my spam folder for the commonest themes..........


  • Viagra! viagra! viagra! - Advert after advert - They really think I have some sort of impotence problem.....
  • Gain Inches - Free Trial! News Alert: Get Extenze Free‏! Male Enhancement This Product Works! NYTimes.com - News Alert: add 3 Inchs Now! Peni1e En1argement !‏ And in addition I have a small penis (I already knew this, but no need to keep telling me (sob!)). It amuses me immensely that one of these emails apparently comes from the New York times....
  • Weight loss pills LoseWeighFast! - And I'm obese.
  • Cheap Meds! Online Pharmacy! canada-1pharmacy sale !!! Medz4less!!!‏ - Strangely - many of the adverts for drugs come from Canada. I am now coming round to the idea of Canada as some sort of twisted drug haven. And I thought it was just full of mounties....
  • Yes loans! CapitalOne Credit! And I'm short of cash - presumably I need a loan to pay for all these meds I need.
  • bigcock Women! My personal favourite....



So to recap.
I'm an obese man who has serious health problems, which is why I'm desparate for cheap medications. I am broke and am in deparate need of money. I also suffer with impotence, and a very small penis. I like well endowed Ladyboys.

God knows how they know so much about me. Needless to say this description is entirely accurate.
