Monster spam frenzy
Posted in Blog by Twenty Major on October 3rd, 2007
Bloke from Monster spams people with poorly written email. Boom. The Blogosphere kicks into life.
Righteous and proud chested in their condemnation. Principled, always ready to do the right thing. Well, most of them anyway.
“I can’t believe you didn’t have the decency to publish the email address it came from”, said one blogger. “We could have all emailed him to tell him how much of a twat he is”.
The classic fight fire with fire move. It’s a good job the spammers never think of that.
Apart from cabbage, I’ve always had a great love of spam

As a recruitment company they don’t really inspire confidence when they employ any old muppet…

You’d have to think the lazy, slackers who don’t really want to work (which is about 90% of people) would take some reassurance from Monster’s hiring policy.

My grandad used to say you should fight fire with fire.
He didn’t make a very good fireman!
(Not sure who this came from - Tim Vine or Tommy Cooper or somebody else. If anybody knows who this line belongs to I’d be interested to hear)

Tim Vine has never told an original joke in his fucking talentless life…I would reckon on Cooper.

whatever about the initial spam, you’ve just got to love the “take down what you have put up about me, remove my name and replace it with somebody else’s immediately” part of john “self-inflicted” byrne’s reponse. dilbert strikes again. i can imagine monster management going through every report he’s written on company cockups (and with him in charge, there are probably loads), and replacing the offending person’s name with his. dig up john, dig up.

take down what you have put up about me, remove my name and replace it with somebody else’s immediately
It’s so wonderfully clueless.

I appreciate the lazy twats who have a job but spend all day blogging on the clock. You can always spot him. He never blogs on a weekend. Not pesonal 20.

I used to fight drugs with drugs, but that was then.
This is some other time.

@Littlesapling - it’s a shame most agencies are full of muppets.
