Morons ahoy!

Oh dear.
For the second day running a moron has spammed Jonny’s Twitter Stream (@vendeeglobe) with a link to a truly pathetic Viagra spam site. Someone must think they’ve been terrifically clever to hack TwitterMail like this, but to insert a spam message in which it appears that Jonny – a round-the-world sailor on a non-stop solo voyage – is recommending Viagra to everyone by way of a dirty great boast about the number of women he’s now able to pleasure on a daily basis… is spectacularly dumb.
Hey sub-literate spammer morons, the clue-word here is “solo”. The guy is *alone* on a boat in the middle of the South Atlantic on a non-stop race round the South Pole that takes three months. It’s official.
Now, if they’d used the word “mermaid” it would at least have been funny. As you can see we had to censor the text.

Oh dear, indeed.
I laughed because your comments were funny. But these spammers really are sub-literate morons.
What also gets to me is the censorship arguments which often follow. Hey – you’ve censored the guy’s “right” to free speech!
Idiots! They don’t care who they trample on.

C’mon, Jonny!
(I don’t really know anything much about this race other than what my old mate Mike K-H keeps telling me about it, but I’m getting interested in it now.) Good luck to all.
