My life is being ruined by email

The problem is this: I can't enable spam blockers because much of the mail I receive, r.e. press releases, would end up as junk. But what comes through is just so crazy and out of control. Someone should do a study on the psychological effects of having to read junk-email subject headings all day. What if we all end up talking like this? The most infuriating part is you can't respond. They spam you, but it's not like you can write back and give them a piece of your mind. So much worse than telemarketers at whom, at least, one can yell at or hang up on or do something less passive.

THIS MORNING'S TOP 10 EMAIL SPAM SUBJECT LINES

1. HAS HUMANITY LOST ITS OBJECTIVITY?
2. PAY C1OSE ATTENTION
3. THIRD-DEGREE BURN TANGO
4. MEET SINGLES WITH CHRISTIAN VALUES
5. 本公司提供24小时在线服务
6. IM AVAILABLE TONIGHT
7. WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?
8. POMPOSITY SUPERIOR
9. PLATING PURSE
10. HEY JULIA

OK, I'm going to get back to work. I'm headed into that time period known as Annual Manual hell. Be sure to check out today's SFR for Dan Frosch's early look at the June primary season I will be on 94.7 FM tomorrow morning to talk about the news. So tune in. Until then, may your plating purse be available tonight, live forever and never lose its objectivity like humanity has.
