F’ING SPAM: July 07, 2009

You know, I am confused as to exactly what they hope to do: If they actually send this e-mail to someone who is devious enough to reply (because they are representing themselves as the “partner”, which they are not, since the whole thing is a scam) then are they expecting to get burned by the criminal they send it to, or are they actually trying to “teach them a lesson” because they were stupid enough to reply?

And are you SERIOUS? Keep this shit QUIET? Hell no.

And btw, ALEX JOHNSON is a more believable name. Get your generator fixed.

Dear Partner,

Please find our attachment and get back to us.

Johnson Alex.

This is the “attachment” I “found”.

From: Mr. Johnson Alex.

Dear Partner,

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. I am a high placed official working with Department of Finance (& Economic Affairs), in Cape Town South Africa. I and two other colleagues are currently in need of a silent foreign partner whose identity we can use to transfer the sum of (USD$22,000,000.00) Twenty -Two Million U.S. Dollars. This fund accrued legitimately to us as commission from foreign contracts, through our private connections.

The fund is presently waiting to be remitted from ABSA BANK here in South Africa to any overseas beneficiary confirmed by us as associate/receiver. By virtue of our positions as civil servants in my country, we cannot acquire this money in our names. Because as high placed civil servants, we are not allowed by the civil service code of conduct to own or operate bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand, it is not safe for us to keep the money here due to unstable political environment. I have been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues, to look for an overseas silent partner who could work with us to facilitate transfer of this fund for our mutual benefit, hence the reason for this email.

I am requesting from you is:

(1) To be our silent partner and receive the funds as the sole benefactor to the contract amount which we shall secure all legal documentation to authenticate our claim.

(2) Provide a private telephone and fax number for easy communication under your control.

(3)Receive the funds as the beneficiary; take out your commission and keep the rest of the money until I arrive there to meet you after the transfer is completed.

My proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as follows: 15% to you as commission for your co-operation and assistance in facilitating the transfer, while the remaining 85% belongs to me and
Two colleagues. You will be free to take out your commission immediately after the money hits your country. Since our objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be appreciated if you could also help us with advices and direction on investing into profitable ventures in your country.

However, this is optional, and if it is not convenient for you to further assist us with investing the money, we can end our cooperation after you make available to me our part of the money. The transaction, although
discrete, is legitimate and the money will be transferred successful with all necessary back-up official documents showing legitimate source/origin of fund. The transfer will be affected within a period not longer than two weeks as soon as we reach an agreement and you furnish me with a suitable response indicating your interest for processing the transfer. I plead with you on one issue, whether you are interested or not, kindly do not expose this information to any one else.

I confirm that the transaction is legitimate and without any risks either to us or yourself. Please, give me your response immediately by returning mail.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr. Johnson Alex.

Iran, Iran So Far Away.

Recent news…

Iran’s state television says that the country’s supreme leader is warning Western governments of a “negative impact” on relations over what he called their meddling in Iran’s postelection riots.

State television quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying that the western governments must be careful of their “hostile remarks and behaviours” because the Iranian nation will react.

“NA NA NA NA NAAAAA NA”

*Flips Ali Khamenie off*

Hmm, still here. That’s what I thought.

Jong Il’s Gotta Gun – His Whole World’s Come Undone

I know I am not the only one thinking that Kim Jong Il is acting no differently than any other child who just got grounded, and sent to their room. He is yelling loud enough for us to hear, downstairs, things like, “nobody loves me”, “why are they so mean to me”, “just wait until I run away”. He is kicking the door of his room, and pulling all of his underwear and socks out and flinging him around the room.

Pacification will simply breed contempt, and then he’ll be a very unruly child. I am not saying that he can’t be taught to behave, and I am definitely not suggesting the United Nations puts him on Ritalin. Either go in that room and tell them to stop it, or they’ll NEVER get any dinner … or … send uncle US of A in there to spank the fight right out of them.

If he is just going to sabre-rattle ad infinitum, kick his ass. If he actually intends to start a war, kill him. Why is this so hard to do? How many leaders – like Saddam Hussein (not involved in the 9/11 attacks on the US of A) – have been taken out? Oh, wait – North Korea is not oil-rich, or threatening an oil-rich country.

JMHO, of course.

HuNu?

Of course, Canada Day reminds me of how utterly disturbing this continent can be. For whatever reason, I can watch TV programming from the United States of America, for free, at any time. Any time that I am near a TV that uses an antenna – such as my father’s home, where they live in a rural area of Ontario, but are relatively surrounded by Buffalo, Erie, Clevland, Toledo, Detroit. Of course, that means that CRTC rules are not followed (although, by many accounts, CRTC has almost completely destroyed the Canadian Broadcasting industry and we are losing a number of Global, CTV affiliates this year alone) and US of A advertising is presented, and no Canadian content is made available when the signal is received in this way.

Hulu is a perfect example of how much bull is put in place to make sure that some sort of ridiculous “law” – or more likely, someone simply isn’t getting their revenue stream – so Canadians can’t get Hulu.

Of course, Canadian GAP’ers already are familiar with this.

What I didn’t know, however, is that as a Canadian, I can go watch things like Canada’s Worst Driver, or Canada’s Worst Handyman – streaming online at Discovery Canada … but if you are in the US of A, you can’t stream this stuff. So, yes, it works both ways. One thing I do not understand, of course, is when Canadian content is webcast, even if it is coming from the US of A, why can’t we see it?

The general populous is ok with this exchange. I have friends all over, and that includes in the United States of America. But, on the global scale, it appears we have a very long way to go.
