SPAMCLAWS: It's bad enough when scabby little oiks we've never heard of fill our boxes with spam promoting their bands, but this takes the biscuit - our cat-like filters at bothsidesnow just stopped this mail in its tracks:
HELP PROMOTE MADONNA'S LATEST FILM, "SWEPT AWAY"! Join the OFFICIAL Online Team!.
Here's a thought - Madonna is incredibly, incredibly rich. If she wants to promote her film, why doesn't she pay for advertising? Isn't that a radical notion?
"Loads of rare prizes to be given away! Join now and participate in the first contest to win Collectible Swept Away Posters!
So, missy Millions spends a fortune on making a film, and yet wants to promote it by giving a few posters away? And not even to everyone who she expects to create a false word of mouth? Just how tight is that?
Anyway, in order to play our part, here's some word of mouth - from the Evening Standard, quoted here: Proof that Guy Ritchie's troubled new film, Swept Away, starring wife Madonna, is as bad as rumour 
suggests. The flick failed to impress at an industry screening in London last week despite numerous 
editing changes. The biggest talking point was Madonna's alarming body builder physique. "It might
not be very good but I can tell you it's improved immeasurably from the edit I saw before," said my 
man with the popcorn. "The problem for Columbia, Tri Star is they can't "bury it". They're under 
pressure to promote the film properly because Guy and Madonna live in London".

Happy to help.
