Spam

I hate spam, naturally enough, but there's something endearing about this one:

==============================

Subject: Every man must have a sex! MUST!!!

Improve your erections in 30 minutes!
[URL snipped, because I'm a dog in the manger, obviously.]

The drug that heals our sorrows forgetfulness.
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy. This is quite a three-pipe problem.
No one knows what he can do till he tries.

I think of a lot of spam as Found Art. Some of it transcends its genre and enters the realms of surreal stream-of-consciousness writing. I know people who actually take a lot of the text and images they get as spam and turn them into art. It's like a Burroughsian cut-up of subcultures and marketing and language bounced off servers and sent by automated scripts to millions of addresses both active and dead...it's like the mind's internal nonsense monologue :-)

Mmm, that's a three-pipe problem all right.
