The title to this post might be somewhat misleading. It’s probably important to mention that I really have no intention of posting a new weird video of the week every week, the title just seemed fitting for this post. Now, with that said I will say even as I type this it still makes no sense why I would need to be on the receiving end of this email, especially with a link to this video.
Makes no sense to me. Here’s the email and don’t forget to watch the video, you’ll shut it off fairly quick as it will be of no real use to you.

Here’s the You Tube video itself.
Weathering a Boxcar Part I
OK, help me out here. Why do you think someone would have shared this You Tube video with me? Leave a comment and weigh in on it.
P.s. The only reason I even clicked to the video from my email address was that John P Aulaguiar the creative blogger behind “John Paul’s Money Dummy Blog” recently shared a kick ass video with me on Twitter. I assumed John was sharing another video with me instead of actually looking at who sent it. Anyway, not John and I still have no idea why the video would be sent to me.

Hmmm… funny thing…This must be a new Guru tool making the rounds or something because I got a similar Email the other day where someone was ‘sharing a video’ (though it was a different video than your train video, above). I didn’t recognize the name so I didn’t even open the Email.
Looks like they got one step further ahead with you ExtremeJohn
Anyway, I’m glad this Email represents you’re weirdest of the week cause God knows, there’s some weirder Emails than THAT circulating the web everyday!
Cheers!

Why, that’s obvious – your tanning salon probably lacks weathered box cars.
Right?

To sell, primarily. And perhaps, you were included on a sold email list (70% chance)
been receiving a lot of strange emails as well, and I’m predicting that my email was sold by some low class marketers. Annoying at times, but I do learn a lot from those crappy emails (indirectly).

Your right on point Seth, sell sell sell. I remember when spam use to annoy me, but the “clean” spam does offer some learning tools to email marketers that’s for sure.

Yeah he could drive the hell out of a car, I showed it to my son and he couldn’t even believe it.
I can’t make out why this video was sent to you, but I think seth is right, Your email address might be in any recently sold list.

I’m getting a lot of youtube spam too recently, on my forums too. I guess people are trying their hand at youtube marketing methods. There is a lot of traffic there, for sure.

Whoever is doing it is certainly doing their job, fine tuning to find new fruit all the time is smart on their part.
