The Curious World of Spam

Over the past year, the Pluck Magazine Blog has managed to pick up a lot of rather oddly hilarious bits of spam. From the usual penis pill hawkers to the Chinese link farmers using Alta Vista translate to leave vaguely encouraging but terribly nonsensical, rambling posts, we’ve managed to collect an impressive amount of ridiculous spam.

Who these strange people are we will never actually know, but their words will live on forever burned into our memories.
So without further ado, have a look at some of our favorites below:

• From Roowlybloorgo at realcazinoz.com, we have some abstract spoken word poetry:

“casino casino online vibrators casino gratuiti Invoices”

• Gerard Mastrobuono from weldinghelmetsforsale.com was kind enough to leave us this pithy statement:
   
  “Work – the curse of the drinking class.”

• hsiud4@yahoo.com left us with the great battle cry of:

“Stop The Porn!”

• From sexdating at sex-dating.co – wait, did you say sexdating? Hmmm, sounds interesting. Tell me more.

“hello i found your website today and I have read some awesome articles over sex dating here. I just wanna thanks you for publicing sexdating it so we all can learn about it!”

• Christine at coloreyeshadow.onsugar.com apparently likes our blog so much, she prints out our articles and reads them later.

“Great article. I’ve enjoyed this contribution. Its nice to see every questions answered in a blog post like this. I will add this post on my blog and link to it. Thanks for a clear informative post, I’ve learned a lot. I hope to see videos though as I can be A.D.D and reading articles is not my favorite thing to do online. So what I do sometimes is just print the whole thing and read offline.”

• The maniacal and badly spelled enthusiasm of “Samantha” aka pokerhotgir88@gmail.com may be the best of all though.

“:), I apreciate this work in this web site, you are contributing with great things! This blog is very interesting!
My name is Samantha, from Geneve, so I will be a follower of this web page, my hobbies you may don´t want to know them but I will tell them off course I adore football as well as movies, and I also play a lot Metallica on my bedroom, I´m without boyfriend now so boys watch out for me....just kidding :)!
