Apparently some people actually are stupid enough to buy that stuff. And, since spam is practically free, they don't need all that many buyers.

Whoo! I want a vending machine! haha and if you saw some of the lastest stuff the post didn't even make any sense. I mean even the one in russian made a slight amount of sense.. it was talking about air conditioning. And even the link I cliced was just a list of.. something.. I don't know '_-

Maybe they thought we were more likely to click one of their links out of curiousity if we couldn't understand their Russian giberish.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Ha. They're too scared of me to return. They SAW what I did to their buddies in the IPA section.
