Subject lines of two separate emails in my Junk Mail folder today:
"cocksure illiteracy diagrammatic perfect force embeddable bronx anagram grid saline freud impressive stress cognac chandelier brother haifa loudspeaker omega cyclopean sleepwalk"
and
"batavia earphone languish backwood rhea immaterial discoid abstruse frantic dissociate lobule chantilly origin what're carriage ethos megavolt signboard totalitarian"
Both trying to sell Viagra, of course. (You mean you couldn't guess from the subject line?) What baffles me most is why I'm so bent on figuring out if there's some hidden meaning behind these particular word groupings. What could the Viagra sellers possibly hope to accomplish by throwing together a seemingly non-related series words, none of which have a bloody thing to do with Viagra? I mean, "Haifa?" "Cyclopean?" "Discoid?" What gives, Viagra hawkers? Inquiring minds simply must know.

wow... nice.
Posted by: Aviva at April 16, 2004 09:21 AMDo you want the actual reason? It's to fool spam filters. Though I don't know exactly how they choose the words they manage to choose. Maybe they get drunk, open a dictionary, and point.

I heard that some of the songs on Junta are actually written out internet chats between Troy & some chick.
I agree, Ayelet. If they were just trying to misspell it to avoid spam detectors, that would be one thing. But I truly am clueless as to the reasoning behind my spam titles.
