Spart


Spart (that would be Spam+Art) poetry and ascii retro-spam

Some spam guys are artists who generously share their vision with the rest of the world, whether we like that or not. Most of the time I get really obscure urban poetry of spleen and silent despair like this:

you base me edible me you trefoil me microjoule me you adulterous me delusive me you prostrate me ave me you mettle me benjamin me you embargoes me glenda me you great me eugenia me

which is quite common, but übercool and intriguing nevertheless. "You adulterous me delusive" – come on, say this isn't cool! Once in a while, though, there's something different.

Ascii art retrospam:

For instance, the guy who sent the e-mail in the screencap above was into Ascii art [1, 2]. Nice touch, this retro-artsy-craftsy-spam approach. Even on Threadless a t-shirt with this would feel like home.



But in my inbox... mmm, no. I heard there are art classes in jail these people can attend. Someday.
