As you know, I receive spam. A lot. In fact, I have a folder of blog fodder called "spamalot" and one day I will use it.
Last night , I received a peach. I don't understand it, but as it is spam, that doesn't matter. I think it is bits of someone's thesis they have used to pad out their links (and if it is your thesis, I am so sorry the bad guys have sullied it).
Do they actually think ANYONE clicks on their links amidst unrelated sentences.
Strike that. Do they actually THINK?
Anyhow, I figure I will do some translation of it to try and make sense - as I don't speak French, this could be interesting. Buckle in?
Aussi, un MiLu est a&f. Printanière. Au consommateur, jeffrey, des jeunes de qualité, émanation de mentalité. Impériale des états-Unis classique de tissus en coton, ShouGan élasticité très confortable aération. La lettre est positive, attirer LOGO broderie khan, également désignés, un mode novateur en tout les sentiments naturels. Par limited inc. et de vêtements en 1992 en tant que sociétés par chlamydia délabrés et étudiants d’importants itinéraires de style.
I think it says - "Aussie, one Mother-in-Law is a spring. If you consume
Jeffrey, exude quality and can think, then you need cotton tissue and
possibly elasticised well aerated underpants. A positive letter, dressed with a lacy pakistani logo, its new head and natural sentiments. With the clothing of 1992, the society had chlamydia and itineraries of style".
So really, spam in French makes a much sense as in English.
I saved myself the hassle of trying out my one year of French (coincidentally in 1992) on the rest of the letter, and put Babelfish to the test. (BTW - do you know where the term "Babelfish" comes from?)
Bien que des dissertations sur les vêtements et sa fonctionnalité sont trouvés à partir du 19ème siècle que les pays colonisateurs traités avec de nouveaux environnements, la recherche scientifique concertée sur les fonctions.

En 1968, le domaine de la physiologie de l'environnement avait avancé et élargi de manière significative, mais la branch of appreciation de vêtements
Babelfish:
Although dissertations on clothing and its functionality are found from
the 19th century that the colonizing countries treated with new
environments, scientific research on the function.
Hollister france psychosocial, physiological and d' other clothing

' is produced in the first half of the 20th century, with publications such as psychology Flügel's clothing in 1930, and of
seminal Physiology Newburgh, heat regulation and the Expertise of
clothing in 1949. In 1968, the area of the physiology of how ' environment had advanced
and expanded significantly, but the branch of appreciation of clothing.
So, in the end, I am none the wiser - foreign spam is just the same as our spam.
(For fun, I then set Babelfish on to my profile - on the top right of this post - and put it through

I dont know if the question above is rhetorical, or whether it was to challenge your readers. My apologies if it was the latter (and feel free to delete this comment). A bablefish is the fish that is inserted into ones ear in order to understand aliens. This comes from 'The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy; a trilogy in five parts' by Douglas Adams.

Absolutely, Stephanie - you get full marks (and you can get to share in the prize money I just got notified of - they are hunting me through the real mail also!!)
I love a good spam post! If they're going to be annoying, I'm grateful when they're at least entertaining.
I had a whole series of 'big dik fairy' spam thingies a few years back.
All about how your girlfriend won't like you unless you get a visit from the mega dik fairy (yes, I know the spelling is wrong, but isn't that part of the fun?) and that if you used this product, you won't need to wear big shoes anymore to hide your little dik.
I hate to say it, but I miss the dik fairy.
Is it a sign of the times that spam is all about chanel bags, ugg boots and money these days? Perhaps we used to have more aspirations (and inflations), now we just need to look like we are prosperous while having warm feet and the chance of exorbitant amounts of cash for dying foreigners...
