Russian Spammer Brutally Murdered

Spam filters don't work too well, so a fed-up Russian took matters into his own hands: He murdered Russia's biggest spammer.

Vardan Kushnir, an internet marketer for the Center for American English, the New York English Centre and the Centre for Spoken English, was found dead in his Moscow apartment. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head.

Kushnir enjoyed Russia's lack of anti-spamming legislation to send millions of unsolicited emails advertising his institutes each day. Opponents previously struck back by posting his telephone numbers all over the 'net, listing them as free sex hotlines.

Moscow police are investigating approxamately seven million possible suspects.
