Will a few inches make a difference?
Someone in spamland feels that my penis is too small. I concluded that because they keep sending me emails with subject lines like, 'Woody, a few inches makes a difference?' as well as, '
First, I don't know how they know all of this personal info about me, but it made me look through my room for cameras and it also made me put my Paris Hilton montage in a safe and secure place. How did they know I was obsessed with her? THAT'S just spooky they know so much…
But seriously, we all get these because 1/2 of the population is men and 90% of them are insecure about their penis size. This makes for a HUGE market. The spammers realize that through volume, they will get rich. Heck, how many people fall for the Nigerian scam? I will tell you… enough that it keeps the scammers doing it.
My point here is that there are huge markets that exist. These have BILLIONS of dollars flowing through them WEEKLY. Why are so many people obsessed on tiny niches that require a crapload of marketing to make a measly $1000 per week?
I just don't get it.
Need ideas for huge markets?
Watch the spammers…
Enjoy,
Woody

RE : Posts on Depression and Spam on Male Endowment.
Hey Woody,
Love the timing of the above two posts because I have the perfect solution. Well it works for me anyway.. I've made a post on my site with a link to my revolutionary psychological break-through
Working from home can get pretty lonely and depressing, we should not take ourselves so seriously and try to have a bit of fun everyday.
Hope you and your readers enjoy.

My spammers sent me today a message entitled, "cabbage descendant bureaucratic" - which is really weird, because I am a descendant of bureaucratic cabbage. It's like they're in my head!
They've also been sending me lots of PDF's with stock tips inside, and "ecards from a mate." Finally, they know that *MY* penis is too small too… Which is actually very kind, as calling it too small when in fact it's totally absent is a thoughtful understatement.
whoa….I was looking in my spam folder in gmail this morning - and thought 'there must be sh*t loads of money in all this viagra and penis enlargement stuff'.
Then I read your post.
So, Woody, how did you get your information that these spammers are Nigerians?
You or your fellow country men have not done this infamous acts before?
I think you need a little bit of diplomacy in posts. You don't need to hurt people feelings projecting yourself as "the perfect human being on earth".

ROFL, this is one of the funniest comments I've read in a LONG time.

Hey Woody,
I love your post. As always quite funny and insightful. I think what Joset meant was your reference to Nigerian "Heck, how many people fall for the Nigerian scam?" Folks do tend to make references to Nigerians in a negative light based on distorted unbalanced media perceptions. You could have easily have said or referenced Russian scam or even those scam artists in our own mighty fine US government.
Umm… the scam is known as the 'Nigerian Scam'. That's the name of it.
No problem my friend. I guess the only illegal spamming scams in the entire world are Nigerian scams. Thanks for that World history 101 lesson.
Huh, that doesn't even make sense?
Have you seriously NOT SEEN the Nigerian email scam?
Hi Jen,
Thanks for your opinion on this subject.
Woody appears to be opinionated especially against Nigerians.
Imagine him affirming the "official name" to such email as 'Nigerian Scam'
