My Cup Holder won't Open

Here's the latest email from our Tech Dept:

"Attention All (Personnel)

"During the last few days some email that is clearly SPAM has been delivered and opened by staff. Further, embedded links contained within these emails have been opened resulting in the installation of an adware program called "VISTA ANTIVIRUS 2008". This is a reminder. Please do not open SPAM email. This particular brand of SPAM arrives with ridiculous subject lines such as "Man Shoots Lawn Mower", and in some cases more inappropriate subject lines. This is clearly SPAM.

"(Our) email gateway contains a SPAM filter that identifies and blocks the vast majority of SPAM delivered to (our organization). However, some SPAM can "leak through", as spammers utilize clever techniques to evade SPAM detection. When SPAM does evade our SPAM filter (we) must rely on educated staff to ignore such email. Please do so."
