A New Type of Spam
March 20th, 2008My friend Josh received an ingenious type of spam that uses banner art to spell out the message (and thus circumvent spam filters):

If you look closely, you’ll see that the message is actually made up of text characters:
xe dl no
ip jc
vc kr
hc rv vv xjmq fmltv wsfm jbst
ci wg vi qe qw td ugx dg
ixbl oj zwxwy ru yh ut cwxtg
