That provoked a firestorm of protests, because, well, not everyone wants everyone else to know that they read an opposition newspaper in Malaysia.

1. It could be worse
2. I still had to clean up the mess in the box
3. There’s probably more SPAM to come.

Yeah. Bloody mofos! I clicked “Report SPAM”!!!

The joke is that as if the first mistake wasn’t bad enough, the second E-mail from YouthMalaysia actually had even MORE people in the TO section.

Such ridiculous mistake causes much inconvenience to others. It’s as if people don’t already have enough trouble with spam.
