Spam spam lovely spam

I'm sure most people get enough unwanted email that they don't really want to share mine, but this solicitation for a junk journal was more amusing than most. 

As well as the imaginative and tasteful use of colour in the email, I was particularly impressed by the number of digits they quote for the citation statistics. Wouldn't do to confuse this journal for one with a crappy impact factor of only 0.100!

I suggest you clone the ad and change it slightly to say:

"we aim to publish scientific papers in all fields of the inhuman and unnatural sciences."

You could then sell movie rights ...
