Top SPAM

filed under E-mail · 3 comments in the original

Spam will continue to be a problem for us throughout 2004 and most likely for the forseeable future, assuming we're willing to broaden our definition of Spam

Today, at dinner, I was speaking with a friend about exactly where the terms Spam came from and why it was used. Anti-Spam activists (self-defined fighters for the greater good) also have paired the term Ham with those messages we wish to receive

Does that sounds stupid to anyone other than me? How about offensive As a Fisheterian and former Hindu with many Muslim friends, I just don't dig on the swine ;).

Oh well, I assume it's easier to have someone ascribe names to our world than think up our own. In the meantime, here are the Top SPAM words from last year:

  1. Viagra.
  2. Lowest mortgage rates.
  3. Hot XXX action.
  4. As seen on Oprah.
