Change For A Nickel

If you have change for a nickel I will give you my two cents.

Hotmail is not for children! Has anyone besides me noticed this? I have always joked about how bad Hotmail e-mail was with allowing spam but I really had no idea. I have had a Hotmail account for a few years but I do not currently use it as a primary account. I actually DO use it for junk mail. You know all those online forms that want you to supply an e-mail address? I give them that good old Hotmail address. Now that I have a new ISP (Internet Service Provider) I needed an e-mail account for FASiT. I came up with the (not so) brilliant idea of creating a Hotmail account! I did not subscribe to any of the services that they offer or any of the third party mailings. Basic, basic, basic, I even turned the junk mail filtering up to high. I have not had this account for 24 hours and you wouldn't believe the amount of unsolicited e-mail I have received. Here are just a few of the subjects:

Be your own private eye; Check out these Asian highschool babes; Girls only sleep over party; This sparked my Love Life; Order your FREE copy of 101 Tax Tips. These are just the ones that were in my Inbox. The Bulk mail folder was worse! I am truly offended by this Spam. For one thing why do spammers assume I am a straight man who wants to see women in porn? I am always getting Spam for straight men. Where’s all the spam for gay men!?! One thing is for sure, viewing all this spam has not affected me in the least. I have no desire to buy straight porn or have sex with women. I just thought of something. Maybe this is a ploy by the Religeous Right to turn gay men straight! Things that make you go, Hmmm......
