Spam sucks. Nothing new there. But lately, I’ve been getting weird-ass spam at work and it’s driving me crazy. I think we have pretty good spam filters here, and this is a fairly new email address (although it doesn’t work properly half the time, so I probably shouldn’t be surprised at the lack of filtering), so I’m not sure how I got on these crazy lists.
Exhibit A
Spam from some sort of industrial company in Russia that wants to sell me tape and belts and such. (I get lots of Russian spam — mostly just text emails though.)
Exhibit B
Spam from the French M&Ms. Which is also kind of surprising, because one would think that the French would consider themselves too good for M&Ms.
So if anyone knows how to write “unsubscribe” in Russian or French, please leave it in the comments for me.

The French spam is really odd. Never seen that before. But the arabic (or whatever is in your last line) has been popping up all over the place!
Have you seen the blogger comment spam about getting rid of American women and finding yourself a foreign wife?
French M&Ms and Russian industrial parts. That is really random. I wonder if French M&Ms taste different?
