BBspot Mailbag

Now you too can enjoy my Inbox without the annoying spam. Every week I get some amazing e-mail. Some amazing because of the sheer cluelessness of the sender, some because of the time and energy that went into crafting them and some are just simply amazing.

Even after adding another disclaimer to the Nigerian Billionaire story, I still get an email from someone who wants his money...

I would be more than happy to have the nigerian philanthropist give me as much money as he wanted to Thanks Teresa

Yet another AOLer defines the stereotype.

Some discussion board readers are intrigued by the new SLR phone-camera from Canon. Thanks to Jun K for sending these in....

Brokeback Trailer

One reader writes in with a suggestion for the Trailer Reviews...

I've been waiting for a trailer review (or any review) of Brokeback Mountain. If you're going to stay on top of the male-male kissing scene, you'd better work on that.
Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that using the advanced algorithm, Brokeback Mountain has a negative geek factor.

I hope I didn't give the impression that I want to keep on top of the male-male kissing scene. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Guess what appears on the top of the list when you search for "evil empire" on MSN Search.

I bet the folks at Microsoft just love that.
