The whimsy of the modern spammer

Just received the following spam (for the second time):

From: Neateye <nitaigouranga@aol.com> Subject: Gouranga

Call out Gouranga be happy!!! Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga …. That which brings the highest happiness!!

Don’t you have anything better to do, Neateye? Are you hoping I will investigate your exotic cognomen?

Ok, fine, you win. Googling…

Hmm, apparently the #1 hit is a Grand Theft Auto resource site. Definitely worth sending obscure spam for. But actually, the Urban Dictionary entry is a lot more enlightening (well, sort of…). It seems many others have commented on this oddity as well.


“I am strongly in favour of using poisonous gas against uncivilised tribes … to spread a lively terror.”
—Winston Churchill, writing as President of the Air Council, in 1919
