SPAM: The Final Frontier

[kyra_ojosverdes]

I just received SPAM from Chuck Morse, who is running against Barney Frank.

Bizarre.

I wonder if they've considered that SPAM tends to piss people off... well, people who know what SPAM is anyway and won't be all flattered that Chuck Morse personally sent an e-mail just to them (and then confused about why they can't vote for him given they live in Montana and he's running in Massachusetts).

In our last local election, I had the same thing happen. The person running for city/parish president emailed me asking me to vote for him. Yeah, like I didn't comprehend the whole spam thing (and yes, it does piss me off... and how the hell did they get my email address to begin with?). On top of that, I got recorded messages from various other people campaigning, including people running for governor, various council positions, etc. I really hate recorded messages like that. Now the local school board is doing the same damned thing. And people wonder why my phone is always off and I check the caller ID to screen calls when I see the red light that indicates my phone is ringing.
