Blow Out the Candles for Spam's Birthday
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.
