Why do spams always contain such horrible grammar/spelling/etc?

Winner. :beer:
True, but then who would want to purchase from a business seemingly run so poorly ? It's like they thought of how to storm the castle, but didn't think of what to do once inside. Hell, half the spam I get, I can't understand the product they're "marketing". WTF is the point ?

Uh, guys, AOL. The fact that it's still around is evidence enough that the majority of people are stupid, herdable cows (is herdable a word?).

I never believe people buy any of the stuff they find in these ads...then I found ebay. Yes, I realize this is a joke.
