last night I got a call from a police charity telemarketer - while I was crying, listening to "amazing grace" on abc. I almost ripped him apart verbally, but decided it wasn't worth it. (self-link to journal entry with more about this (9/12, 8pm)

some people, while not evil, are assholes.

How about this: porn sites are spamming me with subject lines like "what a blast" and "can we all just be together."

I may never masturbate again.

My housemate got porn spam on Tuesday as well, with phrasing along the lines of "Stop watching what's happening on TV, come watch our porn..".

That really pisses me off. Is there any way to find out who the spammers are?

It gets worse. Someone who reads MeFi but can't post wrote and sent me this link: It's your patriotic duty to change your long distance company.
