Wall Street Journal Spamming Again

August 4, 2009

The Wall Street Journal stopped spamming me for a couple of weeks. Now the Viagra-marketing-influenced newspaper is doing it again. I am now receiving two different spam messages. The first wants me to subscribe. After the WSJ stopped spamming, I resumed my subscription.

The second spam is fresh. The WSJ wants me to become a subscriber to the electronic edition of the newspaper. Here’s the latest, highly professional, quite compelling missive:

What’s interesting is that this spam does not render. Seems to me that the WSJ may want to hire a different spam marketer. The present outfit can’t code and has insufficient bandwidth to display the Viagra-marketing-influenced junk pushed at a ** paying customer **. How far newspapers have fallen? Judge for yourself.
