Most of the spam I get, the subject line is random, goofy nonsense. Or things that have been badly translated, I assume? Sometimes pretty funny, but mostly annoying (because it's SPAM!!!)

The other night I was up a bit later than usual, and I came across Leno. He was showing items from the .99ยข store, most made in China or places like that. So the translations/instructions or even the tagline or come-on to various products just had me rolling (certainly wasn't Leno's doing, mind you).

I can't remember any of them, but you could tell they'd try to match an English phrase and just used super strict translation, so when it comes back in English, the slang or jargon we're used to is using more formal definiations or words, so it was hilarious. Two or three of them had me laughing so hard my face was hurting.



Think "all your base are..." x50. Just horrible grammar, weird, inappropriate words, complete nonsense, etc.

Lots of the spam I receive is that way as well.

"You are, to the please I be, for you fortune awaiting of this" and so on.
