    Thumbs down Annoying Spam Messages

    Do you find it annoying with spam? Well, it would be stupid to say no, I love spam. Does anyone see on youtube with all those spams saying if you read this, this will happen to you or you'll get kissed by 4 other people in a day or the other message I've seen on some girl who died in early 1900s or something. It gets really annoying and I'm just ranting on and on but it really gets to me. Why can't people stop doing these annoying things?

    that's actually what I do, or mark them as spam so they don't show up for me again. I hate when people send it on myspace and all that too...in that case I just delete them.

    OMG, I didn't know you're one of those housewives that buys into everything Harpo has to say.

    To answer the topic question: It's only annoying when the subject content is lame. If it's something like the Claire Swire's email, then I would gladly read, hit the forward button, and "send" it in a heart beat.

    that's not spam, that was a 'confession of a secretary' email. everyone likes to hear confessions - especially those Catholic Priests

    hahaha it was a "confession" spam that probably led to the popular catch phrase, "Got Milk?"

    many yrs ago, I got fed up with spam and replied to one spam mail wishing cancer on the sender and his family. It actually got me removed from the mailing list. Nowadays I just report them as spam and delete. Not sure what good it'd do. Basically the easiest thing to do is delete them all and never reply to or follow links from any of them.
    This account is retired.

    I heard that if u ask them to remove your from their mailing list, they will comply, but you will receive even more spam later from companies. So, I don't dare to reply. Btw, Thunderbird (email client) has quite a good spam filter.

    Oh yeah I get those all the time and some from paypal too. Too bad people fall for them all the time. I don't trust any of those e-mail so I just go directly to the site to see any messages sent. If you pay close attention then those fake e-mails aren't too hard to spot.

    Haha sometimes the only comments that appear on the video are spam comments!

    And most people do it because their gullible or superstitious! Especially of the scary ones.... Now, the people who post the spam write "DO NOT READ" before the actual spam conent


    why's he hiding in there? perve.
