Spam Attack!

A look at some of the internet's top intrusive ads


I guess if you're run out of ideas and desperate, this sounds like a good ad campaign for your company. I mean, a cybernetic T-Rex, sure, but why does it have to be hyperactive?


And they say smokers are discriminated against these days? They're handing out free TVs to these people!


Beauty, History, Adventure, Snipers. This ad came out right when the infamous DC Sniper was on a rampage in 2003 - taking a vacation to Virginia sounded like a brilliant idea at the time: Come here and get shot at!


Here's a small cross-section of one day of my spam. You may notice a theme. Apparently, Paris Hilton is a superhero of porn, able to perform a cornucopia of erotic acts. I like the bottom one best - you don't get to see her eat any cum, but you can watch her want to.


If one ad for "Shattered Glass" doesn't convince you, how about THREE ads?! It's like an entire army of nerds with glasses demanding you see their art-house drivel! How can you refuse?


Most anti-spam filters watch for common words like 'porn' and 'paris hilton' and 'viagra', so spammers have started using a brilliant technique whereas they purposely misspell these words. And as long as they're at it, they might as well misspell EVERY single word in the spam, leaving you with jumbled nonsense like this:
