The Joy of Spam

At times I find that I like spam, no not the canned variety, the one that creeps into inboxes the world over. Don’t get me wrong these kinds of emails are a nuisance and need to be controlled. But on a slow mail day they give me a reason to open my inbox.

How else will I find out about genuine Rolexes at half the price? Or that I won the US lottery and can apply for a visa or that a kind hearted general from Nigeria wants to share his wealth with me because he has no heirs? And don’t get me started on all the people, peddling pills, who want me to “function”, better.

I want to know your take on Spam, menace to society or delightful distraction?
