My Spam Folder

Not sure why, but decided to go through my gmail spam folder to see what type of stuff was getting caught in there...

First of all, the amount is staggering, 3 or 4 spam emails an hour....

And in some cases, the inclusion of text link advertising is creating interesting juxtaposition...In the above picture, Forbes (and to lesser extent Apple), is associated with an email of questionable content...

In this example, ESPN has some prime time placement in this incredible email announcing some really aggressive pricing for viagra...(is 1.53 a pill a good price?)

Wonder how carefully marketers are keeping an eye on this...while the truth is that most people aren't reading this stuff, something tells me that ESPN and Forbes are still paying for it.
