Size Does Matter (StumpJumper)

Wired is running a story about spammers. It seems that they were able to access the server logs of a penis enlargement pill purveyor. To quote the story:

A security flaw at a website operated by the purveyors of penis-enlargement pills has provided the world with a depressing answer to the question: Who in their right mind would buy something from a spammer?

You'll never believe what they discovered. One thing is certain, I'm in the wrong line of work!

Read the story

Damn, if we throw away personal and business ethics, lie our pants off to people, and overcharge like crazy for products that aren't proven to work, we to could be obscenely wealthy.

Sounds good to me.

Well, there goes the theory I was clinging to after I linked this article.

I propose a constitutional amendment: if you buy from a spammer or a telemarketer, it's regarded as proof of mental incapacity and you don't get to vote anymore. Ever.
