What's interesting is that the spammer blasted this into around 30
other newsgroups mostly containing the word 'sex' in their name. Do
they think that Tinnitus is linked with an elevate libido?

Or, maybe spammers thought this ng is about the rock band 'Tinnitus'
(http://www.tinnitusrocks.com/)?  Ironic that a rock band chose the
name Tinnitus which is prolly the condition they'll be getting shortly.
Here's the lead drummer's testimony at the ENT office,  "Ya know, like,
I was in this really cool, rad, rock band, Tinnitus. We, like, really
knew how to pump up the volume man.  Anyway, like, lately I've been
getting this, like, ringing in my ears that wont go away. Usually I
smoke a little jamaican and it goes away, but that doesnt cut it
anymore. Like, do I need stronger meds man?"
Here's a quote direct from their website (no kidding, complete with
mispellings):
"Help spread Tinnitus, herass  your favorite local rock stations to
spin TINNITUS tracks. Thanks to all of you  for keeping those DJs
pumping your favorite TINNITUS songs! Check out our sponsers page to
see all the folks spinning TINNITUS ! "
Regards.
