Yeah, I've got it on now, but it looks like they're saving the "evil porn" story till the end of the show. Should be interesting!

madleinx 2005-08-05 09:00 PM

Ugh, and it's a two-hour show, damn them all! If the mister was home right now I'd be begging him to turn that thing off so I could get some work done. :D Oh well, guess that's what the mute button is for....

Thank god you just said that cause I just realize the wife woke up and changed the channel with out me knowing. I got back to the channel and thought I missed it lol.

Too bad they didnt have anyone from the adult industry explaining how these spammers are the black sheep of the industry.
99% of us are against spam I would hope.. that 1% makes us ALL look bad.

I just watched it, it was a farse. I hate the spammers, any spammers, just as much as the next guy, but this was just sensationalism to feed the masses. An indignant mother in Texas who had her privacy invaded pitched against a huge immoral porn industry (who actually turned out to be a single affiliate in Canada). I have two things to say: 1. Don't give your e-mail out to just anybody and 2. Get a spam blocker.

That would defy the purpose of the program, to make the porn industry look bad. NBC isn't interested in good investigative journalism as much as they are in viewer ratings and sale of commercial spots.

Month of investigation and they prob could have found out who the guy was on a couple of boards lol.

madleinx 2005-08-05 10:43 PM

Horrible. Made the whole industry look really bad, imo. Can't believe they went to internext.

Glad you got to see it, Jugg, but I kinda wish I hadn't watched it.

Dr Bizzaro 2005-08-06 08:00 AM

I must say, for what ever reason my incoming daily SPAM has been about 1/10 of what it was last year.

I was getting anywhere from 1000-1500 a day and now it down to about 100-150.

Cleo 2005-08-06 08:05 AM

Yeah my spam is way down this year but a big part of that was changing hosts.

I saw the show after Angel called me to watch it. What really got me was at no time did they mention that spamming would cause your affiliate account to be closed by most programs.

All honesty here I am seeing more BUY THIS ROLEX and Take these Pills in my mailbox. I rarly see 1/2 page ads of porno. Now.

Tubey 2005-08-07 10:41 PM

I think I am getting about 1 in 40 spam mails dealing with adult porn material. But I probabley won the maytag frig company, have enough rolex's offers to buy the company, more offers on prescription drugs that would take care of a country's medical needs for a year, enough viagra spam mail to make everyone!! a porn star, more satelite system offers to make my backyard look like NASA, and enough dating spam e-mails to keep me busy for the next 50 yrs. And the adult industry gets blamed for all this???

GunnCat 2005-08-07 11:57 PM

News shows like this always distort the facts for ratings. Easily as unprincipled as any spammer.

Kenny B! 2005-08-08 04:07 PM

I've also noticed a large decline in porn spam to my inbox but software and home refinancing spam is out of control! I'd really like to know how many people actually refinance their homes online.

Trev 2005-08-08 06:15 PM

Apparently, I look like I'm in desperate need of a stock tip.

Jel 2005-08-10 04:26 AM

lol, those penny stox mails are thick and fast for sure.
