Reuters calls it "spam rage": this article details how a guy kept getting penis enlargement spam from a British Columbia company, and so he kept threatening to do physical harm to its employees. He now potentially faces five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Of course, the guy from the BC company says that they had nothing to do with the spam, which is a great set up for the following classic line:
He said his firm does not send spam but blamed a rival firm which he said routes much of their unsolicited bulk e-mail through Russia and eastern Europe. Mackay said such firms gave a bad name to the penis enhancement business.
