Anti-spam guy arrested for threatening penis pill promoters
 

Man Arrested Over 'Spam Rage'

Call it spam rage -- a Silicon Valley computer programmer has been arrested for threatening to torture and kill employees of the company he blames for bombarding his computer with Web ads promising to enlarge his penis.

In one of the first prosecutions of its kind in the state that made "road rage" famous, Charles Booker, 44, was arrested on Thursday and released on a $75,000 bond for making repeated threats to staff of an unnamed Canadian company between May and July, the U.S. Attorney's office for Northern California said on Friday.

Booker said the problem stemmed from a program he mistakenly downloaded from the Internet that brought a continuous stream of advertising to his computer.

Booker identified the object of his rage as Albion Medical, which claims to produce the "Only Reliable, Medically Approved Penis Enhancement."

Lol, I bet he would REALLY blow a gasket if he got as much spam as I do! Easily 500+ per day and counting...

No biggie, whenever I get upset with it all, I just read a valium spam, they calm me right down...:rasta

arrest them all i say!
fuckers!
;-)))))))))))

Now if they arrest those spamhaus fuckers that would be the next logical step.

spamcop.net asswipes too

Anyone that is that bothered by spam scares me. What do they do when they are pissed off at there wife or kids. I can only imagine.

Don't take this as defending this guys actions but maybe trying to gain some insight.

Anyway, the guy probably rarely gets angry in the real world. He's probably one of those types that bottle it all in. He probably gets shit on by his boss, friends, and maybe even the wife and kids, so what does he do? Takes it out on someone in the virtual world...someone who can't actually stand up to him and back his ass back down when he got loud because they are seperated by distance and a monitor.

Kinda like a lot of people on this board ;)

You haven't met many programmers have you? :Graucho

he is going to shoot the mailman for all the direct ads he gets
