Kudos to this article for acknowledging MUDs as the source of the term “SPAM”: A very unhappy birthday to spam, age 30
Now that spam has been with us for 30 memorable years, let’s take a moment to think of all the great things spam does for us:
- Enlarged lower members
- Enhanced “motivational” drive
- Pleased partners
- Cheap pharmaceuticals (like aspirin, of course)
- Lonely ladies with web cams
- University degrees for the masses
- Winning notifications for lotteries we didn’t even know we entered
- The opportunity to help the families of political victims retrieve their relative’s wealth, and share it with us
- Quality Rolex watches at amazing discounts
- Escape from debt
Not to mention it has become Nigeria’s chief export.
