Spam that sounds like a text adventure

My favorite spam of the morning begins as follows:

Good time of day. You are disturbed by the charitable company Redd Cross of Slovenia.


That's funny, I am disturbed! And the notion of a charitable company named Redd Cross is even more disturbing. (I think it would be a more fitting name for a comedian than a charity...) And it is, I suppose, a good time of day.

[Followup 2008-03-16: Bruce Sterling blogged this same spam, and while he may have done so a few hours before me, I hadn't read his post yet. Anyway, it's good to find myself on the same page as the Viridian Pope-Emperor once in a while. ]
