Canned Spam: Now It's Getting Ridiculous

Zune Social: tromboneforhire | By: Marques Lyons | 11/12/2008 |

I got this in my spam folder today. The subject line said: "Congratulations You Have Won" and it's from the Microsoft Email Lottery 2008.

The message:

Congratulations you have won the 2008 Microsoft email lottery draw download the attachment to claim your winnings

Microsoft cooperation

Um, I'll keep this short and simple. It's CORPORATION not COOPERATION!

Secondly, a little grammar please!

Third, so MS is just gathering emails up without permission and entering them into this random lottery drawing (with no prior advertisement) and now I've just won something and you didn't even have the decency to tell me what it is: A new Zune, an XBOX 360 Elite, an iPod Nano!?

Fourth, Microsoft's email address wouldn't be: mslotto@noreply.com. Um, we call that red flag in my area of the planet.

Fifth, I saw the Southwest commercial where the lady opened up the pink slip virus. I'm a bit more careful than that!

Sixth, you've just made my day with this outlandish piece of stupidity.

Here, why don't you open up MY ATTACHMENT! Don't mind that ticking sound, it'll stop soon enough! ;-)
