BIG Book Turns Spam Into Art

Some days it seems like most of the email we’re sent is spam — and most of that spam is messages designed to make us feel bad about the length, girth, or endurance of our penises. We usually ignore those message (our penises are just fine, thanks), but we’ve often thought that they might make for the basis of a fascinating art project.

Apparently, we’re not the only ones who think that way. Alessandro Esteri, of the Italy-based Hand Made Group has come out with a collection of “poems” assembled from the text of spam. Witness the beauty of “Summer is coming”:

Summer is coming

Summer is coming, time to tone up!
Put an end to your s’e_xual failures!
There’s no need to enumerate all the
advantages of the bigger pen!s
Mega size is a great force

It’s almost Dadaesque.

    Well, I know what I am picking up next time I am at Barnes & Noble’s…

    “Mega Size Is A Great Force”…

    Perfect.

    It’s so zen!

  • Liz says :

    I think I know what I can do with the apostraphe in “s’e_xual” (perhaps a stop? an accented syllable?) but the underscore I’m a little concerned about…maybe drag out the “e” languidly? I was going to read this at poetry night but, logistically this is looking to be quite the hassle.
