spam to inanimate objects

Posted Friday, October 31st 2003 @ 11:35AM

I wrote a chatbot for FirstClass (a BBS system) a few years back. The bot was dubbed ‘slackjaw', since for some reason his phraseset that our users filled it up with always sounded like a dumb yokel to me. There was a mailing list setup for ‘him', which meant of course within a few days, slackjaw was receiving spam by the truckload.

There is something I find really, really funny about spammers trying to sell a bot merchandise of a sexual nature. Here are a few recent subjects that slackjaw has received over the last week where they've customized the subject just for him.

  • Slackjaw, Keep it hard all night long
  • These pills make you shoot it like a p0rn star, slackjaw!
  • Slackjaw, Make a girl/boy l.o.v.e you pass.ionately
  • Hi slackjaw honey, i hope my webcam makes you HOT

I'll have to doublecheck with him, but I think Slack might have ordered the pills.
