Relatively speaking. Most look like they've been run through babelf­ish or something.

Slightly related note, I've been reading some stuff on 419eater and oh my god that shit is hilarious.

Seriously, does anyone actually know anyone who has been taken by this shit, or is it scaremongering by internet security people?  You know, like labeling everyone a terrorist, and then going to their country and shooting them house to house...

I was in Ghent, Belgium today, on a boat tour of the canals, and we went past a sign that said "Boat Tourism is Noise Terrorism", and one of the passengers, in an appropriately snide tone and foppish European accent said "Must be an American living there.  They think everything is terrorism".  The whole boat laughed.
