Have You Met KillROI?
Dec 09 2008
Well it has been one year since we released KillROI into the wild. He has been infiltrating agencies, high rises, corporate offices, and maybe even your office. He has been sitting, waiting, listening, and silently fighting the war on spam and good emails leaving your desk.
We have begun to get reports, via photos, from places that he has been deployed. It has been like a secret mole from the Cold War days being activated by a call to action that only he knows. Yes, it is time. The holiday season bring so much email into our collective inboxes and that might have just been the impetus of his awakening.
I ask you, if you have seen him around your desk, office or in your travels, to capture photos of him like we recently received and send them into us. We need to know of his exploits and his travels.
If you have not found one yet, there are two ways to find out how to have one deployed. First please visit this site to learn about his battle and help him take on the fight. Then drop me a comment on this post and I will reach into the isolation cell (which has been locked since last December) and see if there are still some rumbling around. If I hear from you with a compelling comment, I will attempt to safely ship one of the remaining soldier of goodness to your clutches.
Also, if you are subscribed to our newsletter, then you will learn of his next exploits around December 17th. So subscribe to get the next installment. Trust me… It will be worth it.

I need a KillROI to protect me from all the spam of bad email campaigns! Help me, Obi-Wan KillROI, you’re my only hope!

Dylan,
Do you REALLY want me drawing pictures of the KillROI bot? I would love to introduce him to the crowd over here in Texas…
Can I please have one?

Now this song is stuck in my head, so you all must suffer now too.
(to the tune of Mr. Roboto)
You’re wondering who I am, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
Spammer or guardian, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
With parts made in Oregon, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
I am the modern mailman.
I’ve got a secret I’ve been hiding under my skin,
My heart is email, my blood is Twitter, my brain SEM,
So if you see me acting strangely, don’t be surprised,
I’m just a man who is searching for something that’s trying to hide,
To reach your inbox alive, not blocked but alive,
Someway to hide to stay alive.
I’m not a ruleset without emotions, I’m not what you see,
I’ve come to help you with your email, you know it’s not free,
I’m not a hero, I’m not a savior, forget what you know,
I’m just a man who’s inbox went beyond his control,
Beyond my control, We all need control,
I need control, We all need control,
I am the modern mailman, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
Who hides behind the scenes, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
So no one else can see, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
My true identity.
The problem’s plain to see,
Too much technology,
Whitelists to save our lives,
Blacklists de-humanize.
The time has come at last, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
To throw away this mask, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
Now everyone can see, (Secret secret, I’ve got a secret)
My true identity.
I’m KillROI! KillROI! KillROI! KillROI…
