I spend massive amount of time on the Internet, partly due to my job. In that time, I have come across a wide array of websites. I have seen a lot of useless sites, but thanks to a recent mass mail email mistake by the insoshi.com project my email became available to a lot of people, and some of them turned out to be spammer. What a surprise there, right? Anyway, one of those assholes sent out this sites – hamtoss.com. Now I know I have seen the most useless site.
You know what? Thinking about it as I write this, this site is not useless. At least not for its creator(s). Its purpose is to collect emails for that spammer. It shows you, the casual surfer, a silly animation. You like, you think it is funny, and you fall in their trap – “wanna know when we toss something new?”. You read this, seemingly harmless, words and you provide your email address. Damn that’s genius.
I think I will use one of my SPAM trap emails to see how this turns out.

Haha, I think that it will make a funny home page. LoL.
BTW, I have not looked at it since I wrote this post, but they are no longer collecting email addresses. I wonder why?
