Okay, the internet confuses me, now more than ever before.
I used to get those penis enlargement ads but that's understandable, penis-enlargement companies always look for costumers and spam you regardless of your gender. Same with breast implants.

they spam in foreign languages? )

Ha, foreign languages. ^^; It's because you keep posting Chinese on LJ? *is crapping*

I'm getting these crazy mails that have almost-making-sense titles, and lists of words for content. Oddly enough, I'm not getting body-related spam any more--the current shite clogging up my spam filter mostly consists of gibberish and stuff about investments. Apparently they think I'm a stockbroker or something. Or they're stockbrokers or something.

Out of topic, but have you ever watched the Cantonese version of Legend of the Condor Heroes?--the one that came out five or six years ago, not the recent one (which, IMHO, isn't as good. i weep at the main character's appearance after fifteen-or-something years). I'm looking for the opening theme, which I don't know the name nor singer of.

Dude! Condor Hero! I had that CD. I really liked that opening theme too (it was a guy singing, sort of traditional Chinese-y?). I'm not too sure where the CD is/if I still have it. I'll do my best try to find it for ya.

^^ Heh. Condor Hero is one of the first Chinese series that I truly loved (and the second is its prequel haha). I watched it when I was like, twelve, so I don't really remember the song, only the melody. Guess I'll know when I hear it. :D

They're playing the latest Canto-version on TV here, nearing the end already but (argh) their version of Guo Jing is not gay not bishounen enough too buff not very appealing to me.

Are they those love affair ads that like to throw in a few French words here and there to make themselves look romantic xD
well Japanese has kanji characters, so technically you can practice Japanese, and (in those cases) French.

I think they spam in other languages (as well as with strange vocab and grammar) so that the spam filters won't recognize the message as spam (since it seems legit)...

but doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the spam? If the reader can't understand it...

oh well I guess it doesn't matter xD, it's not like anyone ever buys anything anyway.

UHHHH...

How come I never get this sort of stuff?
I have no idea how caliber would relate to that sort of email... I thought it was something to measure stuff with, in integrated technology class...

or chemistry. However this email didn't show any other signs of either. You'd think a spam would be straightforward :/
