British MP's brilliant SPAM solution

[zoetropeuk]

I just read this article and I found it quite funny. It really does sum up the level of competence shown by the majority of British politicians.

Stop spammers in their tracks (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/10/29/1067233218227.html)

That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[Nermal]

That was a good laugh :D

[coolsoldier]

Is that article serious???

My favorite part was "and trust spammers to never lie about their email addresses."

Riiiiiiight...

:D

I think he just couldn't wait for April 1st...hehe, funny guy. I hope.

[themadchemist]

Yes, absolutely. I should have thought of it myself. ;)

[MacBandit]

Well our government just made it illegal to spoof email addresses. That will surely stop spammers.:rolleyes:

[Mr. Anderson]

OMG! That's so friggin classic....only thing is that he forgot to deal with the international spammers....guess that will be in a future press release :D

HA HA HA HA HA HA HO HO HO HO......

twat.

I sent him a thought about his suggestion, it read:

"Dear Mr. Wyatt,

You are a f*ckwit.

Track this."

and I anonymously remailed it through Honk Kong.
