Okay, murder is bad. Beating someone to death is grotesque and icky and not to be condoned.
That said, I’ve yet to hear anyone react to this story without at least a small, morbid chuckle. Including myself.
Spammer Beaten To Death
The director of an English language center and one of the country?s most notorious spammers was found beaten to death in his apartment in central Moscow, police said Monday.
[…] Andrei Kashutin, the managing director of IT Dvizhenia, an industry association of nearly 7,000 IT students and young professionals, said Kushnir and his company were the most well-known spammers in Russia, sending millions of unsolicited e-mail messages offering English classes at the American Language Center. “Anybody who regularly uses e-mail has come across their spam,” Kashutin said.
It is probably unlikely that his killing was actually associated with his spamming activities — unless one wants to posit the efficacy of prayer, of course.
I may be a horrible person but I don’t feel sorry for that guy one bit.
Does spamming deserve the death penalty? Of course not.
But people like him aren’t suneshine and rainbows to humanity in every aspect of their life, except that they spam.
No, people like him are so selfish and uncaring that you can bet that they are a negative influence upon every life they touch.
