SPAM: a love--hate relationship

Sometimes, when checking my email, I have a love--hate relationship to my spam.

Love: I really love it when I am checking my gmail spam, and the little adwords on the sidebar are trying to sell me recipes for spam cake, spam guitars, and spam salad. It makes me giggle a little. One reason is the obvious mixup in words. But I also like the idea out there that advertisers are paying money hoping you will click on their advert for spam cake. Really? It just seems like one may be able to find a better market out there!


Hate: Well, a baffled annoyance, really. Why can gmail filter out most spam, but then deliver some crazy email written in russian to my inbox? Really? That isnt even close! Also, can span not just delete messages for online pharmacies et. al.?

  1. Ha haaa...spam cake. It's way too before-my-coffee for me to come up with something witty, but that's funny.
