The Foe-on Nine

Andrew Sullivan has the 411 on some guy(s?) who decide to engage one of those African email spammers. There are some gutbustingly funny moments in this email exchange. I'll warn you now: This is not very pc.

There really are some shockingly brilliant moments in there. At a few points I am a little wary that these (white) guys might not be the biggest racial progressives on earth, but at the same time the whole Ali G-esque (Sullivan's idea, not mine) approach and the scenario they create is brilliant. Plus let's not forget that these spammers are trying to steal peoples' money.

Hey guys,

It's been a few years since I flexed the scam-baiting muscles, and part of me is truly greatful.

On ebolamonkeyman.com you know me as the profanator. Your comments here really made me happy; my partner and I had a blast with that one!

The Ebola Monkey and I have sick little senses of humor, we are pretty damn childish. Swearing is one of my hobbies. Seriously. Despite that, we are both pretty normal guys: we both work nine to five, watch games, drink beer and letch at women. Unfortuantely, we also find wonderful amusement in the inappropriate--I have a vast collection of foul dead-baby jokes.

What I am trying to say is that by virtue of the scambaiting alone we were accused often of racism (as you most delicately allude to in your comment--delightfully put, thank you). This is why I am happy not to scambait anymore. The Monkey and I can have a blast with all manner of quirks, races, sexes, disabilities, and misfortunes. I believe he calls it... ah, equal opportunity bigotry. Ergo, it is probably not a good idea for us to partner.

There is, believe it or not, not a racist bone in my body. However, there is a sick psyche under this flesh, and I fear it best retired from scambating.

Anyway, Your comments made me really glad that we provided that level of entertainment. We had such a great time with that one. And when we got the T-shirt picture... absolute rapture.

Feel free to e-mail if this made no sense the.colonel@gmail.com

Cheers,

Ben
