The Spooky Wisdom of Spam!

posted by on August 19 at 13:49 PM

crybabybrit.jpgJust now! Seconds ago! I got four spams, right in a row. Spam emails, please to note, not Spam “pig in a can”. (Rats! Love me some pig in a can!) In their “subject” lines, these spam emails read:

Britney Spears Plans to Auction off Her Children on Ebay!

And…

Britney Sues Vagina for Divorce!

And…

Britney Spears Ditches Singing Career, Enters Car Racing!

And…

Britney Spears Recording New Album, Forgets How to Sing!

Creepy! I know!

Clearly, there is some message here.

Is the universe trying to warn us? Does Britney need my help? Is she (and her vagina, and her kids, and her race car maybe) trapped in a burning barn, down by old Mystery Creek?

Please! Adepts in the mystic art of spamomancy (the ancient science of divining cosmic messages via junk email—or pig in a can, whatever)…what does it all mean?

Wait. No. Don’t tell me. I don’t give a shit.

Britney Spears. Only the spam still cares.

It's weird that not only did I get the same emails, but my said they came from MSNBC!

The best one I've seen says Brittney Spears is the VP nod for McCain.

"I KNOW!" was tired the first time you used it and in the last 7 of your stupid posts

I do enjoy the new movement in fake-shocking-news spam subjects. It's at least more interesting than "Cheap vi-@-gra". A couple of days ago I got:

"John McCain selects Laura Bush as VP" and
"New York Yankees killed in bus crash".
