I think they did use a human translator; computer translators would not have done such a poor job. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I prefer they stay inept at English. If they ever manage to speak the language like a native, it may take more time to realize it's spam. With poor English, it only take a few words, perhaps even just the subject line.
I love the fact that automated spam filters have forced spammers to so mangle words in the subject line to try and fool the filters that it makes it very easy for a human to filter. I mean, seriously, who the hell would trust an online pharmacy that spells things like v1agra and pharrmaccy?

Luckily it seems spammers can't get right any language. I receive some hilarious phishing attempts in mangled Italian...

My understanding is that the spammers deliberately include grammatical errors & the like, as that puts off the better-educated recipients, and increases the probability that respondents will be easily conned. Having said that, I think your example goes a tad far.

Seems some twat has reported one of my posts as spam. It has been removed by management to keep the mouth breathers here happy and so they can keep on feeling like they make a difference in the world.
It was a post to advise that a piece of software I bought over 9 years ago, have updated every release since and still use now, is on sale for 50% off.
I paid for it, I use it, I have no affiliation with the company nor will I make any money off any sales.
Now, I don't want to upset the morons by telling anyone directly what it is, so I will have to put some clues below.
Software
File format most DVD downloads come in + First part of Nish's original name on Code Project.
Where's The Deal
There are 8 ???? to the byte + French for Of The Day
There you go Sean, no more posts to help fellow CPiansd out nor to upset the faarrrkkkking kunts.
If you remeber a few years ago, I posted about Maria Sharapova and got banned 3 times in a day. That has lead to Elephant being a staple euphimism here.

I saw the post, I didn't report it as spam though. I have also used that S/W in the past and did consider purchasing it at the discounted price, but its not something I use that much so I couldn't justify it, I bet I need it tomorrow now.

I didn't report the post, but I can understand why others did - links to commercial software, particularly when you're not responding to someone who was looking for that software, don't tend to be welcome here.
And I think it might have been Michael's brother, Yorick.

It sounds like your previous post was perfectly innocent, so why come back and post something like this that is not? Take the higher road.
A few days ago I posted a bit of humor that played on that same word, but I posted it in the SoapBox, where it belongs.

Come on! I've been here 16 years and have never taken the high road that I can remember.

I just upvoted this, and guess what? Someone has already downvoted - so that'll be an "abuse" vote then.

I got an abuse vote a couple of weeks ago for posting a Bill Hicks quote about the American flag in a thread in the Soapbox.

Reckon I'll get banned this time? Did I ever tell you about my mate Tantor and the Russian tennis player?
