Coming to a theatre near you in 2006: Spamfather. It's the story of an anti-spam mafia that systematically kills the heads of spam rings worldwide. Sounds far-fetched, hmmm? No, more like ripped from the headlines. Bigtime spammer Vardan Kushnir was bludgeoned to death and left in his Moscow apartment, where he was found yesterday. The culprit is rumored to be an angry recipient of Kushnir's spam (or group thereof); death threats had recently been issued. Kushnir was particularly disliked because his spam ran the gamut from email to forum spam, blog comment spam, and ICQ channel spam.

(Page 1)2. Awesome! What good news! I was having a relatively bad day, but this just turned things around for me. I hope more spammers get murdered. And no, I'm not joking.
