Dada and spam emails

Posted on | March 18, 2010 | 1 Comment

I get a lot of spam emails, most of them pushing porn, Viagra or offering me the chance to marry Russian girls. These emails usually have a random assortment of words in them to get past the spam filters, many of which I find strangely lyrically and compelling. These are taken only from a selection of spam received today.

I decided to pick some of these, add punctuation and publish them here. Is it art? Is it not really dada because I picked some and added punctuation and a title? Is it only art because I picked some and added punctuation and a title? Is it a total waste of everybody’s time? Have I finally gone stark, staring mad? Does it just prove how much twaddle is written about art?

I do not know the answer to any of these questions, but I do find the following selection better than most of the so-called poetry one finds in the Radio Times.

Oh, I changed a few words here and there and otherwise fiddled a little now and then. I am hoping for some more off people(as well as some shouts of derision).

Hands off my buns! or Piroshky Deleted.

Once upon a midnight dreary

Goes to sleep, load bearing. Living with:
laughs out loud; rejoices hairy; because
rapacious chain saw

Perky Grunge

Sprightly nation, living with boy.
Unsightly behind!

Unsightly behind!

toward briar patch rejoices procrastinates

It has been a long, long day: please forgive and indulge meJ
