Normally, I love my gmail accounts, but at my main account that I use the most, the one friends and family know, spam has gotten out of hand. Even more irritating is the type of messages with which my inbox became cluttered- advertisements for erectile dysfunction medication. I'm celibate outside of marriage, for crying out loud, so:
For the last 24 hours, I just let all the garbage accumulate and garnered 91 pieces of spam. I categorized them and graphed the results, yielding the following:
It's no wonder young people, especially college age students, are obsessed with sex. Every time they open their email, there's a better than 80% chance they'll be beset by spam attesting to their deficiencies and reminding them that they are not participatory therein. If you lob enough rocks at a fortress, the walls will crumble. Google, cut it out. That's not a request.
Look at the other topics. Consumer spending, in the form of software and luxury watch jewelry, coupled with get rich quick schemes appeal to their vanity and lesser natures. We spend money we don't have buying things we don't need to impress people we don't like. Sometimes I miss being without internet because of the continual barrage of advertisements inviting and enticing me to buy crap.
In addition to the viagra spam, there are the ads for internet gambling. What is up with Google letting through so many advertisements for the vice industry? What subsidiaries do they own? I guess the sin tax isn't deterring people from using those things, even in the "bad economic situation" in which we find ourselves.
Leave Me Alone!
