Friends: The Ultimate Source of Spam

This may become a regular post for me. The list of e-mails I've received from "friends" that really just constitutes being spam. All these people are individuals I have given my e-mail address to, and feel the need to include me on their mass forward lists.
  1. 5 Megs of Video Porn - The good thing is I like porn. The bad thing is I don't like any of the porn they send me. Blonde waifish girls aren't my thing. Not to mention, I don't want to watch porn a few hours after I get up. I can find my own, easily, that better suits my tastes.
  2. Nude Pics of Vida Guerra - While I do find this woman attractive, I've had this same group of pictures sent to me about 15 times already. I don't need them clogging my inbox again, especially considering the person who just sent them sent them to me at least half of those 15 times I've gotton them.
  3. Joke E-mail - this one made me laugh, but I had seen the pic in the joke before, it just had a different story behind it. Hence the recycled nature of jokes on the net. Still, ceramic clowns with enormous cacti growing out their pants really don't get old.
  4. Hillary Clinton Shaking Hands with Soldier - got this one from a die hard Republican friend of mine. Was the 1% of the stuff he forwards me that was actually true. I laughed, because if I was the soldier, even though I'm a Democrat, I would have done the same. Hillary = BAD. Still, keep the politics out of forwards. I know they don't want all my dubs jokes, so I keep them all here.
  5. Bad Joke = Anyone get the one on all the reindeer being women? Ummm... Yeah, that one. Men jokes can be funny, this one was just too dumb to be funny. For a joke to be funny, it has to play the stereotype properly. That one just doesn't do it well. It just says "only women could do that, HA!" which isn't quite an effective use of language or a punch line, nor give any reasoning why, or play off a known stereotype.
  6. Conservative Crap Racist Joke - the miss world joke. Bunch of pics of bikini models, first bad punchline is Miss Iraq, which is an attractive woman, but with a half assed photoshop job of putting 6 in long armpit and pubic hair growth on her. Next was france, which involved a bad photoshop pasting of Rowen Atkinson (Mr. Bean) over the face of a model. The last was Miss Palestine, which involved a nude plus sized woman, with Yassir Arafats face photoshopped on it.
  7. About 8 Avon E-Mails. Hello?!?!?! You are literally sending, daily to people you consider your friends, pure, unadulterated, spam. If they were gonna order some shit from you, they would have done so already. A daily e-mail reminder isn't exactly what they need. Not to mention, do you think a 29 year old male, who lives in a t-shirt and jeans, sound like part of the target demographic for Avon?
And that concludes the Friday Friends Spam Update.
