Spam-o-rama-lama-ding-dong

So, tell me, how many times have you received the following email over the last couple of weeks?


"Subject: Flash Website Design

Dear Sir/Madam

We develop high quality flash animation websites at extremely low prices. I am requesting your permission to send you examples of our work.

Our creativity has been recognized by Macromedia, the producers of the Flash program. I believe you will be quite impressed!

We specialize in flash introductions, flash websites, ecommerce and database websites.

Again, only with your permission will I send you some samples to look at and our price guide.

Regards,
The Design Team

The email addresses are all crap and change with each arrival. The "remove" crap at the bottom, is just that - crap! It doesn't work.

Well, I called the number and discovered that emantras.com - "freeway to the future" - is behind this spam-o-rama-lama-ding-dong! Here are three (what appear to be valid) email addresses that I found on their site: kumar@emantras.com, Bhaskar@siennagroup.com and designerstudio2@aol.com.

Enjoy the flash. It's crap too.

Confession from a woman with no taste in music: It was those damn commercials. They made me do it. They made me pick up the telephone and call to order Time-Life's Modern Rock collection. "I'll stop the world and melt with you - You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time - There's nothing you and I won't do - I'll stop the world and melt with you."

It was a weekend of extremes from the anesthetizing humour of Snatch to a remarkably accurate tarot reading. Oh, and I bought a ticket for my trip to Ottawa. I'm pooped!

Friday? Make like a tree!
