Quality education



  • I would certainly like to get my degree.  This email advertisement, however, does not provide much confidence in the education this "scool" is offering.

  •  Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Scooling worked very hard to put their son Online through his marketing degree; don't you go insulting him like that.

    Which never works anyway.  Besides, this message hardly qualifies as normal spam and the only typeo is in the subject.

    I agree that it never (or rarely) works, but if it did work, only misspelling the subject might be a good way to go about it. Granted, I might have noticed this mistake in the main inbox view, but in this image I didn't. I read the body of the message several times. Eventually looking only for the word "school," convinced that my mind was auto-correcting a typo. I eventually gave up and only after reading some of the other comments did I even glance at the subject. After the message is opened, my brain treats the header info as irrelevant.

    Too bad I'd possibly notice in the inbox view, though...
