Good Spam

From my inbox:

Former President Bill Klinton uses Voagra!


Everybody knows the great sexual scandal known as "Klinton-Levinsky". After the relations like this Klintons popularity raised a lot! It is a natural phenomenon, because Bill as a real man in order not to shame himself when he was with Monica regularly used Voagra. What happened you see. His political figure became more bright and more attractive. It is very important for a man to be respected as a man!

See our Voagra shop to enter upon the new phase of your life.

I'd probably type better if I could stop laughing. Hilarious on so many levels. It pulled me in with that killer subject line, and it got better from there.

The person who wrote this obviously has limited command of English. It also seems like he (I can't imagine it being a woman) wasn't in the US for the referenced scandal. So it's difficult to figure out if it's supposed to be funny, or if it was just a creative earnest sales pitch. I'd opt the latter, partly because it's funnier that way. But what if spammers started making their messages funny in order to make people read them?
