Try Harder, Spam

I just got a message from a guy named "Jeff Sithole," which at no point made me think it was a real e-mail. Here's some other similar names, if spam marketers really think its a good idea to create non-credible spam mail:

1. Andy Standsewer
2. Josh Bagface
3. Nick Trashplug
4. Kevin Coffeedrink
5. Chair Desktable
6. Phone Buttonpickle
7. Menorah Hanukahcandle
8. Book Bookbook
9. Viagrafiend 74
10. ?@!.,

and your number 11 non-credible spam mail name?

11. Chris Principe

HA-CHA!

Alex -

Dude--have you read my email yet? Let me know if you want me to order you some of that "Viagra" (*wink*). This is the deal of a/your/Chris Principe's lifetime!

Hm. I guess I posted too soon. I WOULD like some of that viagra, Jeff. Thanks.

Alex, I think you mean incredible spam mail names.

That is, at least for #11.

Yo! Sithole is a real name, it has Southern African origins. Jan Sithole is a union leader in Swaziland and I'm pretty sure the name is either from Zimbabwe or Uganda. Don't diss the Bantus yo
