More Adventures in Spam
I found this piece of spam to be cleverly funny (yes, it doesn't take much to make me laugh):
----------
Hey Bryan,
It's me, Jessica Farlow! Remember me? :) I hope this email address is yours, if I'm not mistaken.
We've not been meeting for awhile and I decided to invite you to watch me naked via a webcam. I know you'll enjoy it! :) Just click the link and come inside:

Luv
Jessica
P.S. If you're not Bryan Langley, I must be mistyped the email address. In that case please don't click the link! I don't want strangers to see me naked."
-----------
It's that last line that I find funny. Advertisers of all sorts have been trying to hide the nature of their advertisements online for a while now (Take the banner ads that look like alert boxes for an example), and this bit of bait for the voyeurs of the world is just as sneaky. Does anyone fall for this stuff? Probably the same people that propagated the Anna Kournikova and I Love You virii.
And no, I didn't check out Ms. Farlow's webcam.
