Spamwatch

I admit, I sometimes get a kick out of the spam I get, the cycles of titles that I run across.

Right now I'm getting a lot of "Breaking Alerts" from the various news organizations.

They range from almost being believable news:

CNN Breaking Alert: Bush says US to drill for oil on Mars.

...to not believable at all:

CNN Alert: FBI says Bin Laden using Groucho Marx disguise.

...to things that news organizations would never bother to release:

msnbc Breaking News: McCain told lies to gain votes.

...to things that people might actually end up looking at, though isn't really an "alert":

msnbc Alert: Find out how to get top returns for minimal risk.

Some funny "headlines" out there.

CNN News Alert:

Man emasculated during Prius test drive.

Study: Eating spaghetti increases risk of being whacked by the Mob.

Consumer Watch: Official cigarette of the Olympics.

McCain, Obama and the search for the good office "chi".

Are lunch breaks really for wimps?

And some that just don't make sense:

Girlfriend better at bowling.

Crunch creep: Blood on the carpet.

And then there's the ones that just don't get it. Are you a news alert, or are you trying to scare me into following your spam-link:

CNN Breaking Alert: You are looking at a lawsuit.

Funny, I thought I was looking at spam.
