Received in an e-mail about five minutes ago:

Don't be a victim. Protect yourself and protect your family with a powerful but non-lethal Stun Gun! This legal protection device has high stopping power at an incredibly affordable price!


Let me explain something to anyone thinking of signing up to one of these "Send your adverts out to thousands of internet users for only $10.99" packages. I noticed that everyone mentioned in the 'addresses' list at the top of the e-mail was a member of BTInternet. I've no idea who supplies the Spammer with these addresses but...B.T. stands for British Telecom. That means that everyone subscribing to BTInternet is British. Which also means that stun guns, regardless of your claims to the contrary, are NOT legal, that buying a star spangled banner would not appeal to our patriotic nature, that we won't save $$$$ by applying for your stupid f**king mortages, that we won't likewise save $$$$ by buying your poxy health insurance (we have a free health service anyway you bellends), that we will not fight to keep the death penalty (America's the only country left in the so called 'free world' now that still has this outdated method of deterant (sic)) and we don't give a flying f**k about your Get Rich Quick Investment schemes! My advice for anyone with something to sell, don't sign up for these Spam packages. It only annoys people, especially us Brits who are already sick and tired of America's crass and vile commercialisation commercialization of absolutely everything.
