NOTE: ALL SPAM IS SHOWN COMPLETELY UNEDITED BY HUMAN HAND.
Welcome to the Splendid Spam Project.
Hi. My name is Morgan, and these are all SPAM emails I've collected because I think they're pretty :)
A few years ago, spammers developed a new trick. It goes like this: they give a computer a rudimentary knowledge of grammar, and a dictionary for a brain. They then task the computer with sending a bunch of emails to different addresses--emails promoting the latest porno site, or shady prescription drugs, or Nigerian banking opportunities, or whatever. The computer then tries to fill the body of each message with a random scramble of words and phrases that looks enough like a normal, human-written email to fool your friendly spam-blocker. The results rarely fool anyone. They can however, be strangely fascinating...
I believe these are the first stirrings of artistic creativity from our robot beat-poet offspring...or they could just be random accidents created by people who want to sell us shady wang enhancement :) Either way, it's fun to ponder. Please enjoy the beats.
