[Nettime-bold] Strange spam: Fwd: How you can help WTC victims. (BTW:Anti-spammers Support Bin Laden!)

[Peter van der Pouw Kraan <peter@xs4all.nl>]

Got this spam via an Hotmail mailadress. My first impression was that the
sender is serious and crazy, then I wondered if it could be intended as
sarcasm.
Or does it express a common way of thinking in the US?
