Spam that is Really, Really Annoying

Since Inbox Buddy, the anti-spam product that I'm a part of, allows email to flow into your Inbox before routing them into a dedicated spam folder, I happened to see just the beginning of this message before it *poofed* into my the folder:

It has been reported that Osama bin Laden was captured this morning at 4 :22 AM Pacific Standard Time by US Special Forces.

The prime suspect of the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, bin Laden, was captured at gunpoint, as he fled an underground passage in a remote mountainside of southern Afghanistan.

Alliance troops, who witnessed the events unfold, explained that moments earlier United States war planes had sprayed liquid Viagra across the southern Afghanistan countryside, and the little prick just popped up!

So let me get this straight?  You are using the worst tragedy in modern American history to sell something?  #$#*)($##&#$) scum.  As dirty as spam is, that's just ... I don't even know.  Bastards.   You suck.

Of course if I hadn't been watching at that exact moment that Outlook sucked down that mail before Inbox Buddy *poofed* it then I'd have never known.  Maybe this has been going on for some time now (although I haven't heard about it at all).

Bias: I'm one of the founders of the company that makes Inbox Buddy.
