Download chapter 5 here. From the man behind TheSpamLetters.com - featured in Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, and Slashdot - comes a collection of brilliant and entertaining correspondence with the people who send out mass junk emailings (a.k.a. spam). Compiled from the nearly 200 entries written by Jonathan Land, The Spam Letters taunts, prods, and parodies the faceless salespeople in your inbox, giving you a chuckle at their expense. If you hate spam, you'll love The Spam Letters. Besides poking fun at spammers, Jonathan Land is also an accomplished stick figure artist (seriously) and a participant in the experimental musical group Negativland. Born and raised in New York City, he now lives across the Hudson with his girlfriend Jill and their three cats, two guinea pigs, and one bunny. The cuteness of the small mammals helps offset his overwhelming negativity. He receives about 400 pieces of spam a day. |
