My Idea of “Throwback Thursdays”? Getting Rid of Spam & The Spammers.

spam-family-of-productsBleh. For some reason, I’ve been getting a lot more spam replies than usual to posts, but I moderate everything and none have actually gone up. I don’t include spammy robots and stupid links to troublesome sites under “free speech” at all, so I delight in deleting and reporting such nonsense.

That said, I do wish there was a means of zapping it at the source because who needs it at the end of the day? I wonder is spammers get spam and what do they do when they get it? Probably read it for tips on how to be more effective, I guess. Or not. Eh, I’d put a buck into a fund to create a free zapper of some sort that rejects spam while sending the spammer a cute little note that tells them “Thanks for trying, pal!” or something like that. I could see that note also being somewhat customizable so people who REALLY hate spam and spammers could let them know just what they could do with that unwanted digital trash.

And hey, sorry Hormel Foods, but you’ll have to live with your processed stuff in a can forever being associated with something not so nice. Granted, I did have some SPAM Musubi once when I went to Hawaii many years back and it was quite tasty. But these days, I’m trying hard to stay breathing longer, so my diet has evolved a bit.
