As I was checking my spam filter tonight to make sure there weren’t any real messages before emptying, I came across this one that made me laugh:

HELP! I’m currently being held prisoner by the Russian mafia … and being forced to post spam comments on blogs and forum! If you don’t approve this they will kill me…. They’re coming back now…. Please send help!

It’s nice to see spammers not taking themselves so seriously for a change. On the other hand, perhaps this is how the Russians are choosing to torture and humiliate their recently deported spies.
