okay, i'm sure everyone here gets a lot of spam, specifically a lot of span for porn sites, as do ...i get your usual run of the mill "click here for virgin teen sluts" or whatever crap they send me every day..well today i got another one..i clicked on it to delete it..and i see a VERY GRAPHIC explicit pornographic picture..of women performing various sex acts...now i'm not easily offended, and the picture didn't necessarily upset or offend me...but i really want to know when it became okay to spam me with this crap? If i wanted to see the pictures of whatever "tight slut" they are advertising this week i'd click on the link..

I usually get tons of penis enlargement. My problem is that there isn't any for penis reduction. I mean, some of us have that problem.

Our work e-mail provider always has that garbage.

At our e-mail address at home, my parents used to get this "Horny Housewives" stuff all the time. At first my mom thought some of the subjects were humorous, but it just kept coming and coming, so she had to get a new mailbox with one of those "agressive scrubbers" on it. That took care of it...trouble is, she can only get mail from people in our address book. But hey, I think it's a small price to pay...

The email thing doesn't bother me too much - - maybe I'm just too tolerant...But what does bug the hell out of me - - I've been getting random porn spam messages on my MSN messenger..!! WTH!!!!

okay, i think you all are missing the point of this..its not just the random spam sending me links to porn, or asking if i want to enlarge my non-existant penis..its the fact that ACTUAL EMAIL CONTAINED EXPLICIT PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOS...when did THAT become okay..i'm still like, shocked about this, lol

The other day I received an e-mail from someone who wanted to request admission into my restricted membership Yahoo! group (which is restricted to alumni of my high school's graduating class).

So I checked this person out and I began to start seeing red flags pop up... the guy's about 26 (almost all of our class alumni are in the 36-39 year age range as our 20 year class reunion rolls along). I check his profile on Yahoo... red flag number two -- it's an adult-only profile (designed to keep the kiddies from viewing adult content)... hmmm, all of the people who registered and have profiles don't have that restriction. OK, click the link that states you are an adult... WHAM! Red flag number three: the picture he has for his profile is an up-close and personal picture of his schlong poking out of his boxers. Whoop-de-sh*t, I'm impressed.

Click! Instant denial of membership.

Its been going on for a while. Sometime you have to check the email because it doesn't always look like spam. On time the subject was your job application, so of course I opened it and it had a woman doing something nasty to a horse, I guess it lead to a sick site but I deleted that sick stuff quick. Great way to lose your lunch. lol

I finally had to set my e-mail to address book only allowed. There were way too many times at work I'd pulled up an innocuous looking e-mail, and it would be porn. What if my boss would come in??

What gets me is that in my state I can be arrested for any pornographic material on my computer! It's a felony in some cases! I don't browse pornographic sites but these things leave cookies and such on my computer. I have no way of protecting myself from this crap.

Yeah porn stuff has really gotten to be a huge problem lately. I haven't gotten an actual PICTURE in my SPAM ~ thank god. I also get those penis enlargement emails and I don't have a penis either. And I get about 7 of those a week (sometimes twice in one day).

I have AIM and I got SO SICK of signing online and having those stupid IM's with Candy's webcam that finally I made it only possible for those on my list to contact me. But still that's hard to do cuz what if someone else is trying to contact me and they're not ON my list. I think it's sad we have to do whatever we can to keep PORN from reaching our computers.
