BradSucks: A one man band with no fans. (and not porn related at all) (Oct 16 2003 05:56 GMT) - Outside the Inbox is a compilation CD inspired by the often bizarre and intriguing subject lines of unsolicited junk emails.. It has been a while in the making, but it looks like it is almost there.

Enjoyable and funny and well worth a download to see for yourself. Want more? |
