Spam Poetry
December 13, 2018 Usually my spam filter is pretty accurate, but this week I've gotten three e-mails that read like some kind of post-modern word salad poetry. I'm assuming they're spam, but then again, maybe they're really some hip new literary project by postmodern word salad poets. Eh?
So in the spirit of artistic discovery, I've decided to illustrate these literary feats with the most appropriate cakes I could find. ENJOY.
Subject line: hey! :) My name is Margarito!
Artillery fray,
;)
I must articulate smoothly, it is a terrible wise of many enemy,
this godson of tormenting children,
;)
...and children cheerful.
;)

[That is a line of unintelligible characters which I can only assume was supposed to link to overpriced weasel aphrodisiacs, but since it isn't clickable in the original e-mail I can't say for sure.]
And painting it I soothe said to exception:
"it is the riverside of the disadvantage
and He has sent it to flit my shipboard crustacean."
;)
::flit flit flit::
Alternatively, here's a shoe board crustacean:
;)
[bowing] Ah thank you, thankyouverramuch.
Subject line: Good day, my name is Nathanial :)
One notwithstanding
he did with more sincerity bluff so strange in Moscow,
a life of astounding but salutation,
;)
(C'mon, what are the odds I'd find a cake of a butt salutation?)
(Oh, sorry was that just one "t"? My bad.)
Piping and plating, he was degenerating.
;)
(You know what they say about small pens, right?)
(Smaller pocket protectors.)
Subject line: hey!! My name is Broderick!
The amass had feigned,
but coldly was some embody thereon.
;)
Cuttlefish assureed merrily as jersey began talking,
amiably bashful,
with drowsy one sponge emerge at her foresight to unify its broth on her.
;)
Whoah there, Bobby boy, you're not unifying your broth on ANYBODY today, hear me?

re:#8 No face…no, No hair on the back of her head…No, her boobs slipped…no… it's a dead guy, who suffocated in his pink pillow.
This sounds like one of two things. The first is when they run Google translator so many times it doesn't come close to making sense, but can be absolutely hilarious. The second is it sounds like so many of the hysterically bad translations that you can find on the website "Engrish".
Gosh, I just thought up a third possibility. Jen, maybe this is wreckerator's revenge. You know how many of these bakers can't spell or do good grammar. Maybe this particular bunch got together and spammed you for making fun of their cakes, and because it seems like English isn't their first language, maybe this was the best they could do.
These are some weird cakes, funny but weird.
Quick! Help! Jen's been taken over by Vogons!!!
I am still laughing at the butt cake and the small pen cake. Someone must have angered the wreckerator gods the morning those were made lmao I am still dying of laughter.
The 'butt salutation' is truly impressive, even by CW standards.
@Mike: I think it's really just option #4, the spam is randomly generated but with specific parts of speech to form what could be grammatically correct sentences (sort of Mad Libs style). This technique to evade spam filters has been around for years.
