Have you ever gotten a piece of junk mail that was trumped up to look like somebody you knew had sent it to you, rather than some computer pumping out copies for a multimillion mass mailing? Consider this little piece of crap that landed in my inbox last month:
The Learning Machine Takes You Beyond Virtual RealityAmazing!! If you have a moment check out a new web site http://fincon.com. They have an incredible new multi-media technology that uses a special digital headset that forces your mind to learn. It blew my mind!!! Kinda felt like I was dreaming, while learning foreign languages, and programming my subconscious for success. Pretty awesome. The company offers a free 30 day trial. Check it out!!!

Somehow this message didn't make it into the round file, and I came across it while cleaning up. So, why when I check it out do I wind up at The Art of Extended Orgasm Home Page? And why do I get the feeling Mr. Sterling works for an Internet version of those cheeseball mail-order houses, like DAK (techno-crap central) or one of those companies that place little quarter-inch black-and-white ads in the back of Popular Electronics advertising anti-gravity machines and phaser rifles?
