- Bad things that can happen: man-in-the-middle attacks (woman-in-the-middle attacks too), network compromise, zombie botnets, insertion of zero-day exploits, viruses, trojan horses, rootkits, backdoors, job scams and other scams and code with malicious intent.

Other people might consider it spam, but your friends perhaps like it!

Get the selective spammingmug. The greatest being to ever walk this earth. Hot, masculine, jacked, 7-foot-tall behemoth. All men, women and children find Spam Wemg irresistibly attractive. Spam plays no favourites, however; the 3rd option appeals the most to him. Despite his immense beauty and intelligence, he was recently consumed by an ugly man called Alan Kerrrrrrr. I HATE THAT GUY. HOW DARE HE TAKE MY PRECIOUS SPAM WEMG FROM ME AND ALL LITTLE BOYS!?
