Spam I admire

Really. I know I shouldn't do it for lots and lots of reasons, but I actually read a spam message in my inbox this morning.

It was promoting xanax, but underneath the URL to get it now, there was a quote from Poe's The Raven:

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
One if by land, and two if by sea;
To tell 'em, wou'd a hundred Tongues require,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door;
On the sombre rafters, that round him made


I wonder how many people will get the irony?
