Dear Valued Customer,



"Due to the heightened "Orange Security Alert" through the December Holidays, several containers of our ProView 3D Glasses and ProView Clip-On 3D Glasses have been delayed in customs at the Port of Los Angeles. We have been told this delay could be from one day to seven days. By the time you read this note we may already have them back in stock and filling the small remainder of orders not yet shipped. Our solution is to send you sets of "Free" anaglyph paper glasses at no charge so you can enjoy the new Sprit Rover Mars 3D images. We will then ship you your ProView and ProView Clip-Ons as soon as we have them back in stock. We sincerely apologize for the delay as this has been an unusual circumstance that we are dealing with the best we can. Again, sorry for the inconvenience and your understanding.

Best Regards,

All of Us in Customer Service

Rainbow Symphony, Inc.

818-708-8400"

What, 3D glasses are somehow linked to terrorism?

No, no, no, this is for real 'chatter'.

1) Within one to seven days a terrorist attack may occur.

2) The attack will occur in, or be originated from, Los Angeles.

3) <3D> figures prominently, could be an airline seat assignment.

4) Glasses are also involved. Means of recognition, or even X-Ray specs, perhaps?

5) 'Rainbow Symphony'??? Somebody is gay.

6) Plus the misspellings <i>(Sprit Rover?)</i> indicate a non-native English speaker.

Conclusion: My spam blocker would hit this like a $10 whore, if that were the key terms it was looking for.
