...Omar Abdelsamad kisses ten Asian girls. Before the smooches, each girl was asked to announce where she was from. Flyby’s favorite moment: when Matt Corriel, the MC, confused “Iowa” with “Taiwan.” We were also amused that one girl, who seemed to be wearing a Lisa Frank-esque sweatshirt, tried to run away...

It's all spam to FlyBy. But, you know what they say: one man's trash is another man's treasure. So here are some of the most weird, funny, and heartbreaking spam excerpts that FlyBy found in its recent inbox memory. Try to guess what they're about...
