Become the King of Motorcycle Accidents

Best spam of the day.

"Become the King of Motorcycle Accidents," the subject line promised:

Be the FIRST lawyer called to come to the aid of a motorcycle accident victim.

Email or call for details.

Predatory Lending Association

The Predatory Lending Association is a brilliant parody of an industry website.

Check out their handy comparison chart for predatory lending vs. indentured servitude.

The PLA also offers handy predatory lending tools like the military base finder and the working poor finder.
