A Video Banquet of SPAM

Since it is Easter, I wanted to warn people about the danger of Greeting Card spam. I found a good video that explains it well from Lockergnome (see "Greeting Card Spam" below), but I ended up coming across some very funny and very useful videos on SPAM. Being Easter and all, I decided to make a small banquet. I will give them one to a post and let's start with dessert. Here's the first. It had me splitting my sides with laughter:

Time for a commercial break. Just joking, but actually Gmail has the best spam filter out there. I know of people who run their normal emails through Gmail to make use of the Google spam filter. You have to be a bit geeky to do it, but it works wonderfully.

If you really want to do some searious damage to a spammer, here's how. Unfortunately you have to take notes, the music could be a lot better and there is no spoken voice-over. Still, the information is pure gold.
