Market-o-bot-be-gone

There is something strangely satisfying when you receive an email which opens with "Tired of receiving..." and then goes on to persue the very thing they're questioning your level of exhaustion at.

My latest addition to this pile of stupidity is from a recruiment firm, which opens with:

"Are you tired of receiving irrelevant mailshots for locations which are completely out of the question?"

Why yes, yes I am!

"Then we have positions available in; Manchester, Zurich, High Wycome, Leatherhead, Edinburg, Aberdeen, Richmond, Norwich, Winchester and Basingstoke!"

But I've already said I'm tired of mailshots that do that, why are you doing that? Are you so stupid as to have forgotten the point of your mailshot? Or, is it that you are trying to sneak a badly formed mailshot past me, under the illusion that it isn't?
