My favorite spam.

Of all the spam I've received, I think my favorite is from Christiandebtremovers.org.

"Eliminate your bills the Christian way," it promises, whith a lovely graphic of a couple canoodling on a beach at sunset. (A married couple, one would hope, or there should be NO canoodling.) It features a verse from the Bible that says "The borrower...is a slave to the lender." First off, I'm dying to know what the ellipsis obscures in terms of meaning and context.
And beyond that, is it in any way Christian to welch on a debt that you incurred of your own free will? If you're stiffing a heathen, maybe, but what if the person you're leaving high and dry happens to be another Christian?

Well, it's obvious, really. God must like you better or he wouldn't have sent you the spam in the first place. Some Christian creditors probably get spam telling them to "Collect your debts the Christian way." Smite the bastards who owe you and won't pay.

If spam subject lines entertain you, you've GOT to go check out http://spamusement.com/ The artist (she? he?) takes spam subject lines and draws odd cartoons based on interpretations of the text. Funny as hell!
