Spam…. that’s Spam-Free!

Spam free

I don’t know if spammers are liars or just stupid, or if clients are totally ignorant.

Here’s an excerpt of a spammer announcement I got by email today. I’ve removed the company’s name, but kept the pathetic parts.

This spammer claims to have 45,000 permission-based emails in Jordan!

Imagine that. Managing to get permission from one-fourth of the Internet population in the country.

Obviously, it’s not true.

So why make such a claim. Or maybe they just pasted the words ‘permission-based’ from an international spammer they’re emulating.

The funniest claim has to be that the service is ‘Spam-Free’……. huh?

When will this all end. When will clients say no to spam?

At these prices of 45 Dinars ($63) for two campaigns, each 45,000 email shots plus two more campaigns free ……. not soon.

Tip of the UAE gets film city

Film City 2

Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), the emirate at the tip of the UAE, will get a media city; thanks to a $1 billion investment.

Mirage Holdings has been licensed to operate aFilm and Media City, with plans to open a film museum, institute and hold an annual film festival.

This news follows last week’s announcement by Hollywood Studios International, a US publicly traded entertainment holding company, that it was establishing its headquarters at the Dubai Studio City.

So, is the UAE set to become a world film capital?
