What is Spam Anyway?

Read Time:1 Minute, 40 Second

What precisely is the purpose of ‘spam’. For those who remember the strange luncheon meat known as ‘spam’ I am, hopefully clearly, not referring to that sort of ‘spam’. Have you ever tried it by the way? It’s enough to turn you vegetarian.

Spam and spammers. Why? What’s the point? Is this further evidence of my technological ineptitude or is it a serious question?

Checking out comments on MMA that will be filtered away into the ether shortly you find the following :

Wednesdays’ celebration characteristics Brian Broza, Franny Chasnoff, Patricia Gold, Keren Ann, Sara Felder, Allison Faith Levy, Nate Green, Cindy Geduldig, Deborah Kaufman and Alan Snitow, Samson Koletkar along with a specific honor to help Lou Reed, the particular “wise child” by Country Later on McDonald. What’s more, it comes with a earth highest regarded video produced specifically the case, called “Lewis Black’s Plagues,Inch wedding planners claimed

Sorry? Pardon me? What? Any idea? No? Neither have I. What possibly useful purpose is being served by sending the above gibberish to MMA or, indeed, anywhere? It makes my occasional babblings sound almost sane.

How about this one then?

Apparently this piece of ‘spam’ came from a site talking about the sale of sunglasses. Uh? Actually perhaps that was me after a few vodka’s or maybe texting with my thumb.

Why do these ‘spammers’ do it? I really really want to know. Surely everything in life must at some point make some kind of sense. Well, alright, Baseballs ‘World Series’ and nuclear bombs don’t make any but I’m sure someone can explain them to me but ‘spamming’?

People who ‘spam’ almost make Twitter users seem relatively sensible as they describe their breakfast to the internet world – if you are a Twitter user then I do apologise and am genuinely delighted to know how you like your eggs. Honest.

Absolutely nuts. Are they all sniffing glue

When I was a kid mom used to tell me that spam was canned ham. I actually got to where I liked it fried nice and crisp. Later in the Marines we got something eerily similar but it was in a green can and labeled minced ham.

As for the crap that comes in my e mail. ebot cha serta back at you.

I used to hate spam, until I had it at a friend’s house several years ago. He fried it as well and I think I might actually like it.

Fried and eaten on hot buttered toast is nice

You have an apartment made of Spam? Who knew you could do that? Certainly not me.

Most spam is a pathetic attempt at electronic advertising to sell you something you neither need nor want.

The people and companies that do this should be rounded up and placed on a isolated island without any form of communication with the outside world.

You sure won’t get any disagreement from me. At least 100 pieces of spam gets blocked a day by the Anti-Spam program but some still get through and I have to manually remove them.

It’s just random stuff that someone wants everyone else to see Norman. I am constantly bombarded with things to help me make my penis bigger or help me with menstrual cramps. I don’t have a penis, but if I did it would already be big enough. As far as the menstrual cramps, that is just my curse as a woman from the big man his own self, after Eve got all wily and temptressy in the garden of Eden so I accept that as a high holy god’s will 😉
