Day: January 19, 2012

Yesterday, during the  internet blackout my email box was very, very quiet.

On thing in particular was missing… SPAM

Yep, folks not one piece of SPAM clogged my email.

I”ve become so accustomed to the continuos avalanche of SPAM that I thought something was wrong with my email.

It reminded me of the infamous “Day without a Mexican” in Los Angeles of several years ago. That was a day when all or a majority of Mexicans stayed home in protest of something or other. In their case the protest kind of backfired.

The traffic in LA was a breeze, no-one was having to dodge flying debris from gardening trucks on the freeways, there were no car fires, fewer accidents, and fewer broken down cars on the side of the road (or in traffic lanes.)

The next day traffic returned to it’s normal screwed up mess and everyone was asking for more days without mexicans, La Raza was NOT pleased.

This morning my email box has the usual amount of SPAM. The online drugstores, Teens who want to show me their tits, and the Letters from bankers telling me that distant relatives in Kenya have died are all keeping my Junk Mail filters busy again.

However, if I have to choose between SOPA and censorship OR SPAM… I’ll take the SPAM any day.
