If there's anything that Something Awful supports, it's the right to bear bare arms. However, Something Awful also supports full-fledged counterattacks on spammers, whether it be through ICQ or email. Moist and chewy reader Artfag (hey, I don't make up the names, folks) was recently assaulted by yet another nefarious spammer on ICQ, this one attempting to peddle their idiotic site which charges people to post their restaurant's menus. Gee, and the dot-com industry is dying, you claim? Poo on you!

Like the moral and upstanding citizen Artfag is, a counterassault was immediately implemented. I think this is one of the funniest user-submitted pranks I've ever gotten, and I laughed my white ass off frequently through it. Enjoy!
