Over the past 6 months I have been increasingly receiving more and more strange and unaccountable spam on my website for the FL!GHT Gallery, www.turnitoff.tv.  It comes in from my contact form on the site, and goes straight into my inbox, disguised as a message from the FL!GHT site.  After months of deleting the messages that seemingly pile up 10-15 at a time in one conversation thread, per day… I’ve started to take note of the first line in every one of them, seeing them as daily fortune cookies in my email.  Here is what I have received in the last 12 hours.

  • Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing.
  • Tastes like chicken.
  • A chance meeting opens new doors to success and friendship.
  • Success is in the details.
  • From listening comes wisdom and from speaking repentance.
  • You will come to realizations in your life that change you forever.
  • Everyone agrees you are the best.
  • Reconcile with an old friend. All has been forgotten.
  • Home is where your heart is.
  • You will always possess a charm and sense of humor that attracts others.
  • You may attend a party where strange customs prevail.
  • Many new friends will be attracted to your friendly and charming ways.
  • Passionate new romance appears in your life when you least expect it.
  • Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
  • Many a false step is made by standing still.
  • You are never bitter, deceptive, or petty.
  • Passionate new romance appears in your life when you least expect it.
  • You will make a friendship with a very surprising person.
  • A surprise announcement will free you.

The rest of the emails tend to be a uniform paragraph of  html gibberish with links to old blogs, and odd products.  It never seems very targeted to sell anything and the html, when viewed properly or interpreted, is really just a bunch of unusable tags..
