They're fun (and hopefully helpful)." RE: Yeah, it's fun to help people with things you know about. One of my favorite past times is helping uninformed parents (the internet has mostly done away with this) not rent japanese porn for their eight-year-olds. Not to mention The Plague Dogs... which, though a good cartoon about animal testing... will mess you up at five... which is when I saw it... thus I rest my case. Ok some of that sounded wrong. You see I have a big catalog of anime and it lists thousands of films from kids stuff to adult... so I used to look things up for people. I ain't no guide to pettin' zoos! Zero llamas be a-spitting on my clock! Anyway. Yeah, I love using my super geek powers to help people find movies they'll like and keeping them away from movies they probably won't. Much like you like keeping peopel away from duh virus. Which was my point... I stop hogging your comments board now and e-mail my parents a link to this. Thanks! Peace.

I'm glad that you used PayPal as an example, because that's a really common piece of spam that I get -- an email insisting that my PayPal account has been compromised and I need to click on this-here link to go to the PayPal site and change my password.
