I got a Twitter follow notification in my inbox for this profile:
Marge is looking for love in all the wrong places
Like Tyler Durden in Fight Club who never answers his own phone, I never click on links on the internet (it saves so much time!) so hey, maybe it’s a legitimately lonely person on the interweb and not some kind of scam or spam or spacam.
Except this follow wasn’t for me. It was for my cat.
That’s what’s wrong with spammers. They don’t even try anymore. No work ethic. When I was a boy, you had to copy addresses by hand out of the phone book and put them on envelopes. And you had to lick the stamp! None of these peel off stamps for us, nosir.
(And yes, my cat has a Twitter account. It gives my family no end of amusement, for we are easily amused. I’m sure someone has made a Twitter account for the hummous they made a week ago, so this really isn’t as lame as it seems in the grand scheme of things.)

Be honest, Jason. Marge Howe is your ex-girlfriend and you are leading a campaign to keep her lonely.
I am tired of receiving tweets about Britney Spears and her movie ambitions from @Xsdg9t2 and his/her friend @r3rfsg. These types of spammers are the worst because their icons contained graphic images. As a result, I can no longer check who is following me from my work computer.
Great post!
The funniest part is that within a minute of posting this I got a follow from Lily, who seems to be as lonely as Marge.
Oh, second funniest part is that they both use easyurl.net for the link shortening. Heh heh, easy…
