Couldn’t they have come up with another name for junk mail on the Internet? I mean Spam, that is a meat by-product that as far as I can figure out only older men seem to like.

I mean no insult to the Spam connisseur.  I am sure it taste wonderful, if you like salty canned meat.  I prefer my meat to look like meat and not all pressed together so it resembles a brick.

First off…meat is not supposed to come canned.  To me and I am sure to thousand of others, this is not natural.  Then there is the jell type substance that is in with the meat.  What is that?  Is it necessary to the canning process?

So why is internet junk mail called “spam”?  And when someone speaks of it they almost have a combative tone to their voice or email.  Thou Shalt Not Spam!  They say it like it is the 11th commandment.  I don’t remember anyone saying anything about Moses coming off the mountain with 11 commandments, or was I sleeping through Cathecism again?

So why not call it what it is “Junk Mail”  “Unwanted Mail” anything is better than “Spam.”

And another thing, even though as an internet marketer I am not suppose to do “it”, I receive hundred of unsolicited emails in all 5 of my email accounts daily.  I didn’t ask Joe Blow to send me information on Viagra, I am sure I would remember.  So didn’t Joe spam me?  That didn’t sound right, but I am sure you know what I mean…or if you want take it anyway you want…let your imagination flow.

Before you ask why I have 5 email accounts in the first place, I have no idea anymore.  But they all get “spammed a lot”.  I think that is a Broadway show, I know that doesn’t have anything to do with the unwanted messages in my email accounts.  I saw the show.

So “spam” is obviously an analogy for something.  But I tried to find out and no one seems to know.  Just think of it this way, some programmer in a back room, getting paid good money said one day…”hey, I think the unwanted junk mail in our email accounts should be called Spam!”  Because he rarely gets out of that back room he thought it was original.  Poor Guy.

SPAM-Special Post and Mail?  Send People Awful Mail?  I could come up with a few more, but they are not printable.
