Paris Hilton emails

[Peasie]

Why am I getting so many emails with Paris Hilton in the subject line?

They are quite funny I have to admit...
"Paris Hilton invades Rwanda"
"Paris Hilton finds God. God issues denial"
are my two favourites.

But they have just exploded recently. I don't get viagra ads any more. Or penis enlargement emails. Just Paris Hilton emails. Usually containing one photo of the lady with a link underneath. Do they think I'm that dumb that I'll click on a link without seeing the actual location when I hover the mouse cursor over the link and see that the link is actually an exe file.

A program. Could be any program - but when included as a link or an attachment with a dodgy email is most likely to be a virus.

I get all that crap "Paris Hilton interview denied by Jesus" is one today. Getting some saying there from CNN as well but they`re not. Since last week I`ve started getting about 20 a day in my main email plus more at another address. People who send these are lowlife f*****g ****s , I`d love to shove their computers up their arses.

Is it an indication of how many dodgy internet sites you've visited? Or is it to do with if you have a name in your email address? I've never had any is that because my email address is complete jibberish? My mate gets loads off all sorts of odd stuff and his name is in his email address.
