Congress debates what to do about it, everyone complains about it and the fix seems simple. Spam should be a part of direct marketing. If you buy a John LeCarre novel from Amazon, then that online retailer should be able to send you spam relevant to your taste in reading. I mean, I get tired of non-relevant spam: INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR MORTGAGE (I don't own a home) EARN MORE MONEY! WORK FROM HOME! (I already do work from home, asshat) PORTABLE TOILETS FOR WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW (I'm not making that one up) DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY? (Who the fuck doesn't, butt munch?) BE A CHAMPION IN THE BEDROOM (Are you inferring otherwise?) BACKUP YOUR WORK ONLINE (Sure, so jerkwads like you can access my documents? Do I look like I just fell out of the trunk of Steve Jobs' Volvo?) SINGLE? MEET OTHER CHRISTIANS ONLINE (So long as they don't have a problem with my atheism) IMPRESS WITH YOUR NEW ROLEX (No thanks. I have a real one.) WHY GO TO YOUR LOCAL DRUGSTORE? (Because they're licensed by the FDA) This gets around to one of my pet topics: spam.
