CASTING CALL!

From a Kindly Contributor in Australia. The Lads apparently know the scoop on who will play Superman in the upcoming movie. Jim Caviezel seems skinny for the part, but what do we know. Anyway, apparently YOU can be an extra (or something) in the movie! For only $150!!

Scamorama could not resist the impulse to mark up the following, for the scam-o-challenged. We didn't bother with every typo or weird grammar-glitch.

We think this e-mail came from Houston, Texas (we welcome corrections), where 419ers are known to operate.
