Motivational Spam?

Lately I have been getting inspirational quotes from spammers. They all come from munged addresses and goofy names like regular spam. Is it some kind hearted employee who has said "Geez, this sucks, I'm going to use my spam powers for good!"?

Today's message is: "If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me." Ann Landers

My favourites were when I got biblical quotes as spam or as the lead in to particularly graphic porn-spam.

These days, I keep having to tell clients not to accept 'spam comments' that are just "I like your blog" because then you get deluged.

Ooof, totally! I've had those spam comments on LJ too!

I had almost forgotten about the biblical ones. I haven't seen those in years (or Gmail's spam filter is just really really good :-))
