Tis the season to be spammed

OK it's not just my Christmas paranoia. I was going to blog this anyway, without a link *shock horror*, but then I thought I should check Google just the same. Sure enough, there's at least one dodgy outfit making the most of good cheer.

ZDNet UK - News - Warning over e-card spam scam

What prompted the thought was yet another spam "reminding me" it's time to send out an e-card. Give me a break. It's the personal touch that matters. I'd rather a text one-liner than multi-colour animated tripe anyday.

Merry Christmas from the grrrly Grinch.

Australia currently holds more than 94 children in Immigration Detention in Australia and 90 in the Pacific. In Sweden, by comparison, children can only be kept in similar conditions for six days maximum.
