This spam is great. It's as if someone has learnt English by just reading Slashdot comments.

  Good morning, let me introduce for you our New-fangled galleriess.

Dark choco nipples temporizingr for somer of yourr cream!


get out


How in the name of Mbuto do nipples temporize?

The get out text at the bottom was a link to another geocities site where you can apparantly unsubscribe. Of course this won't work. It only confirms that your email address is valid and so will only get more spam sent your way. If you are receiving bulk-mail from a legitimate source, for example mail from Adobe, then following the instructions to unsubscribe will work. If on the other hand, the bulk-mail you received is written in poor English and shows obvious attempts to bypass spam filters then you should never follow the unsubscribe advice - just report the spammer to their ISP via Spamcop. Spamcop provide a free service but you can pay a very small fee, something like 15 dollars for a year, to support them.

Curiously, this seems to be following a pattern. I've been getting quite a few spam emails now in this same format, nonsensical English and links to a site hosted on geocities.
