server_wench's Journal: Academic spam

When I worked at a university, the professors often complained about the amount of spam they received. One in particular mentioned pr0n. As an educated person, I find the kind below to be particularly sleazy.

This came to a private account, but I saw it in my university account (I already have BS and MS degrees) and have seen emeritus professors get this kind of offer too.
