...after you've sent the very worst... (props to julie for that one)
Had unprotected sex, got an STD and can't face up to the fact that you may have infected your partner? This website will allow you to send an anonymous email to that person letting them know... Ooops, sorry. I got you dirty and infected. Get yourself checked out for [insert your favorite STD here]. I guess Hallmark doesn't make a card for this occassion so leave it up to the WWW to do it for you... inSPOT STD E-card
In my opinion, this is just awful. I can see a ton of people sending these emails as a joke when it's really not that funny at all. We here at hugapuppy say this: GET A PAIR. If you think you have something, get tested. If you think you infected someone, step up and let them know in person. Give them a call, talk to them face to face but DONT send an anonymous email. That's just classless and rude.
Ok seriously. This is definitely an improper use of the internet. I have always worried about teenage boys who spend all of their time "communicating" with machinery, and this is why. These guys are the ones who would send an anonymous email about this. Then again that would require them to have initimate contact with another person, and the computer is an excellent condom for their love lives. So never mind. ;-)

OK, real story here. It is strange that AD assumes a Y chromosome to misuse this service. My best friend had a girl tell him (to his face) that she had chlamydia just so he would have to be tested (wire up your urethra). Good times. Just when you think you know the rules, somebody goes and invents a new penalty.
I think the potential for abuse here is equal opportunity.
