Today's spam:

"Earn An Amazing Salary Every Week On Craigslist!"

"Every day people just like you are able to make $500-$1,000 or more using Craigslist."

"Get a free CD that can show you the lazy way to make money online, using Craigslist to make a fortune.!"


You know, I'd rather hack off my own testicles with dulled garden shears than have anything to do with Craigslist. Just sayin'.
