|

|

Yeah right. I was going to make this issue
|
|||
|
|
"superspam III." But instead (and you'll
|
|||
|
|
thank me I'm sure) I chose to just re-refer
|
|||
|
|
you to issue 94 of ATI. The one dubbed SuperSpam.
|
|||
|
|
Is it me or has spam all of a sudden gotten
|
|||
|
|
more far-reaching and persistant this month?

Everyone wants to do something to help

Everyone wants to do something big

Everyone wants something permanent
|

profound
|
|||
|
|
beautiful
|
|||
|
|
Sublime
|
|||
|
|
Everyone wants to do something cathartic
|
|||
|
|
popular
|

|
|
unique.
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
But does anyone want to do all of this
|
|||
|
|
in one act???
|

|

Visit a victim.
|

Do nothing.

OPEN LETTER TO A SPAMMER
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That was very clever how you tried to get our
|
|||
|
|
heightened attention by starting all this with
|
|||
|
|
the message, "your email didn't have the attachment,
|
|||
|
|
it was empty," as if there might be something we can
|
|||
|
|
do by what, resending? Resending what?? Nothing to
|
|||
|
|
send. Pretend all you want, but I never sent you
|
|||
|
|
anything.
|
|||
|
|
I can only begin to feel sorry for you because you
|
|||
|
|
probably paid good money to acquire a list of emails
|
|||
|
|
that for some reason I can never figure out:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
includes me as a potential buyer/sucker/victim/ or mark.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wonder if there's any psychiatrists out there at Brandeis
|
|||
|
|
or wherever else designing masters theses about how
|
|||
|
|
much thought process must go into spamming people
|
|||
|
|
you will probably never know.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linguists ought to get involved too, seeing how
|
|||
|
|
a brand new tongue is evolving over all this.

Heck, if I use teen, school, girl, and tell you that
|
|||
|
|
my shirt size is just between L and XL and that
|
|||
|
|
if you send me XXX clothing it will be too big for
|
|||
|
|
me to wear.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Woops, runon sentence -- if I use words like that
|
|||
|
|
suddenly my writings climb up the search engines
|
|||
|
|
faster than something that really was well thought
|
|||
|
|
out and well written, huh?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Anyhow, a little more than a decade I went and
|
|||
|
|
simplified my life so rather than making more money,
|
|||
|
|
I buy less things, and I take good care of what I have
|
|||
|
|
and put the time and education into repairing everything
|
|||
|
|
rather than adding to landfill.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I only mention this to you because since this is all the
|
|||
|
|
case,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN SEND ME THAT I WOULD
|
|||
|
|
BE INTERESTED IN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Anyhow, remove me or don't remove me. I don't care.
|
|||
|
|
It's your dime, and your karma. I've got a delete finger.
|
|||
|
|
Yes I assigned an actual finger to it because I get so
|
|||
|
|
much in this email address the last few weeks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Oh well. Take me off your list if that will help your
|
|||
|
|
karma. Otherwise keep sending me stuff that I delete
|
|||
|
|
about as soon as I get it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the last real reply you'll get from me probably.
|
|||
|
|
In fact I'm actually writing this for others more than
|
|||
|
|
for you. I'm devoting some space in my magazine
|
|||
|
|
to this email as well.
|
|||

Who remembers the Iced-Tea commercial right after,
|
|||
|
|
was it the Quebec anti-globalism demonstrations?
|
|||
|
|
I think so. Might have been right after Gothberg.
|
|||
|
|
Something like that. Anyhew, I was one of oh so many
|
|||
|
|
who were offended by the ad's theft of the entire
|
|||
|
|
"activism" theme to sell something. Just like it
|
|||
|
|
was quite offensive to see a myth built around Martin
|
|||
|
|
Luther King's speech from the Lincoln monument implying
|
|||
|
|
that if it weren't for Cingular or AOHell or someone,
|
|||
|
|
no one would be able to hear him. To sell what, internet
|
|||
|
|
service? And the GAP using the anarchy symbol and
|
|||
|
|
graffiti'd windows to try and sell jeans and accessories.
|
|||
|
|
Yuck.
|
|||
|
|
Well I found something this past weekend that makes
|
|||
|
|
these look downright tame in comparison -- mere kudos,
|
|||
|
|
or shouts and greets or something than the abusive
|
|||
|
|
usurption they are.
|
|||
|
|
You might want to sit down for this one.
|
|||
|
|
I was watching 5 minutes of Nickelodeon's "Nick
|
|||
|
|
At Nite" show while I ate a cheese, garlic and ketchup
|
|||
|
|
sandwich on homemade wheatbread. That's the channel that
|
|||
|
|
came on when I powered the TV up, and I was GOING to surf
|
|||
|
|
to somewhere else of course while I ate before going out
|
|||
|
|
to see some jazz band at my favorite local coffeeshop.
|
|||
|
|
Did I see and hear right? Holy wah!!! I'm not making
|
|||
|
|
this up. Here's what offended me so.
|
|||
|
|
A song I'll describe later which was the opening
|
|||
|
|
theme song to this show, which stars a home-boy about
|
|||
|
|
my age who joins half a dozen or so little white 10 or
|
|||
|
|
11 year old kids on a trip to a candy factory. Kind of
|
|||
|
|
Mister Rogersish. You know, you get to watch all the
|
|||
|
|
machinery go and the viewing pubic gets to go "ooh,"
|
|||
|
|
and "ah." OK so he's in some grocery store and he's
|
|||
|
|
wearing a black or blue bandana on his head. Normal
|
|||
|
|
street clothes. He's mad because all the foods are
|
|||
|
|
low-fat, and sugar-free. He asks a couple of the kids
|
|||
|
|
who all seem to be shopping alone. "What's with all
|
|||
|
|
this stuff without sugar?" "Are you as mad as me?"
|
|||
|
|
"Aw, c'mon, look at this, sugar-free chocolate. How
|
|||
|
|
can you have chocolate without sugar???" All the kids
|
|||
|
|
follow him to the outside of the store and he's got
|
|||
|
|
them all lined up -- these little roundheaded chubby
|
|||
|
|
little white preteen boys and girls, there's nine or
|
|||
|
|
ten of them gather up now and he's yelling "what do
|
|||
|
|
we want?" and they're yelling, "Sugar!" "When do we
|
|||
|
|
want it?" "Now!!!"
|
|||
|
|
I swear, I'm not making this up. I didn't do any
|
|||
|
|
channel surfing, just hung on this one because I could
|
|||
|
|
NOT believe my eyes or ears.
|
|||
|
|
Here's the kicker. If this doesn't just piss you the
|
|||
|
|
heck off, I don't know what would. There's some serious
|
|||
|
|
outrage over here. Can you feel it?
|
|||
|
|
The introductory theme song went as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AIN' NO NIGGA
|
|||
|
|
LIKE A NIGGA WID
|
|||
|
|
A SODA
|
|||
|
|
CAUSE A NAGGA WID
|
|||
|
|
A SODA ______
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I couldn't make out the rest because the music was
|
|||
|
|
being faded into the show.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NO! I really, really, really wish I had made this up.
|
|||
|
|
This is for real. I'm all over usenet and google trying
|
|||
|
|
to verify this somehow. I don't even know who to call
|
|||
|
|
on the phone yet.

I was reading the following Merle Kessler passage
|
|||
|
|
while listening to Patty Smith's "People Have The
|
|||
|
|
Power." The segue to Paul McCartney's "Freedom"
|
|||
|
|
was quite anticlimactic, I should say. As were the
|
|||
|
|
next half a dozen Salon articles I surfed around to.

I-Zone and "Got Milk?" had partnered up in that
|
|||
|
|
irritating new- economy way. They had a booth in
|
|||
|
|
which you could be photographed next to a life-
|
|||
|
|
sized poster of a milk-mustached Britney. You were
|
|||
|
|
provided with a milk mustache of your own: a piece
|
|||
|
|
of white tape. Walking by, I noticed half a dozen
|
|||
|
|
or so unclaimed photographs lying on a table.

Here is a quote from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad,
|
|||
|
|
friend and coworker of Gandhiji and Jawaharlal Nehru.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I am still convinced that there was no justification
|
|||
|
|
for the use of atom bombs on Japan without previous
|
|||
|
|
warning. It was a weapon which completely destroyed
|
|||
|
|
not only military forces but the civil population
|
|||
|
|
and harmed even unborn generations. In fact, it
|
|||
|
|
threatened the destruction of man. When, in WWI,
|
|||
|
|
the Germans had used poison gas against the Allies,
|
|||
|
|
world opinion condemned them in unqualified terms.
|
|||
|
|
If the Germans had then been guilty of inhumanity,
|
|||
|
|
how could one absolve the Americans of the same
|
|||
|
|
charge? I felt that the use of the atom bombs
|
|||
|
|
exceeded the limits of permissible destrution
|
|||
|
|
and did not redound the prestige or heroism of
|
|||
|
|
the Allies. I also noted with regret that the
|
|||
|
|
Allies hailed this event as a magnificent victory
|
|||
|
|
and there was hardly one word of protest.

of my PC with '98 windows
|
|||
|
|
a whole lot of gateways to a soul
|
|||
|
|
infected and infecting
|
|||
|
|
spreading like a cancer
|
|||
|
|
killing my memory of many
|
|||
|
|
long lost and deleted objects
|
|||
|
|
for I too have seen the best
|
|||
|
|
gigabytes of my generation destroyed
|
|||
|
|
by yet another hackers madness as I
|
|||
|
|
shove an aspirin into my disk drive
|
|||
|
|
and double click on Dr. Watson's menu
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As the online porn queens moan and groan
|
|||
|
|
RealAudio sound bytes of virtual MichaelAngelo...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Because the information highway ends not
|
|||
|
|
by the blow of a silent horn but the zap
|
|||
|
|
of an opened folder as a new Y2K
|
|||
|
|
era is upon us I'm not sure if
|
|||
|
|
mutations of newly adapted technology
|
|||
|
|
will heal all in some sort of Virtual Second Coming
|
|||
|
|
or kill us all in the rougher electronic slouchings
|
|||
|
|
of a much meaner holographic beast
|
|||

The computer monitor awaits

its not 2000 but 1984
|
|||
|
|
much different from grade school
|
|||
|
|
when being hooked on phoenics
|
|||
|
|
felt so much different than
|
|||
|
|
hooked on the internet
|

|

|
I'm with you Bill Gates in the starkness of a new millenium
|
|||
|
|
with you as our on-line Savior with mouse in hand -
|
|||
|
|
awaiting your crucifixion!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm with you Bill Gates in the sunny skyless cloudscapes
|
|||
|
|
gleaming super-nova whiteness upon your capitalistic
|
|||
|
|
blandness!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm with you Bill Gates in the blue glare of white
|
|||
|
|
flashing screens with no savers in chat rooms and
|
|||
|
|
forums and newsgroups and websites and, and, and...
|
|||
|
|
The New World Order's Age of Reason?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Because the world truly ends with
|
|||
|
|
some sort of sound and whether it be
|
|||
|
|
a bang or a whimper will never be noticed
|
|||
|
|
in the internet zone where I swallow yet
|
|||
|
|
another anti-virus somewhere in Norton
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wasting away again in Cyberspaceville...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
While conforming to the net's political correctness
|
|||
|
|
of kind words in chat rooms, sensitive electronic
|
|||
|
|
mutabilities and safe on-line sex at an URL
|
|||
|
|
linked to my homepage wondering if the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Computer has the virus
|
|||
|
|
or do I..

And we double-end this zine with a Michael Moore quote

from his book "Stupid White Men."

What I am concerned with is why
|
|||
|
|
politicians like Senators Joe
|
|||
|
|
Lieberman of Connecticut and Herbert
|
|||
|
|
Kohl of Wisconsin want to go after
|
|||
|
|
MTV when they are the ones responsible
|
|||
|
|
for the massive failure of American
|
|||
|
|
education.
