Um, That Sounds Funny

This is probably only amusing to me, since I write these things for a living, but...

"4 Night Luxury Free Vacation" - this was a subject line in my spam folder.

What's so hot about that? 4 nights free of luxury? I get that every night. I know it's just spam, but come on try a little harder to get your point across accurately. Of course, there is always the chance that they really meant it was a luxury free vacation. And let's face it, it would sound really silly to say, " 4 Night Luxuryless Vacation."

You don't need to be a spammer to write that poorly. Just walk through a Target and marvel (but not too much) at the "MarvelLess" and such signs.
