Does spam come from aliens?

by David on March 13, 2011

Spam seems to love my blog site. It has attracted soo many spam emails (400 and counting) that I think this site has a secret Spam fan club : )

Most of the spam email comments to this site are really flattering; some are just a series of letters and numbers (maybe a secret code for something?) and some, I believe are from aliens from another planet; They are just weird.

Everyone suffers from spam emails but I really don’t get the point? Are the aliens just sending these to annoy us earthlings?

Well I got news for you “I don’t like Spam!” never did. Even at school (and that was some time ago now) it was horrid and now it’s just simply annoying.

I know it takes less than a 100th second to delete a spam email but if anyone can suggest best spam filters I am sure my readers would be interested.

August 25, 2010

The Dodo Five Alive TV commercial is a feel good commercial and is certainly a hit for me. I wonder if it tastes as good? What do you think? Hit or Miss?

What’s so great about “plain English”?

August 10, 2010

Writes Stephen Barnard… I heard someone on the radio the other day say that he wished every advertisement was in plain English. ‘God forbid!’ is my reaction. I don’t mean that every advertiser should be free to obscure or manipulate the truth or tell outright porkies. My problem is that ‘plain English’ is increasingly held [...]

With the cyber world at my finger tips, I have a dream of creating the most wonderful blog site ever.

July 28, 2010

My vision is to create a site where consumers can tell us what they think of Advertising and Design issues. Specifically, famous TV commercials and well known logo designs. The idea developed when I thought of a name and logo design for the site. The name being “Blogo’s, Design and Advertising.” The next stage was [...]

Whatever happened to great taglines?

July 20, 2010

Writes Stephen Barnard… A great tagline is the copy equivalent of a well designed logo – a combination of words that engages the consumer while summing up the personality and ethos of a company or brand. We all remember classics like Yellow Pages (‘let your fingers do the walking’), KFC (‘finger licking good’), Abbey National [...]
