Hugh McGuire has just started a new project called poetic spam, which I found hilarious.

Poetic Spam is a literary journal that celebrates the poetry of spam.

Submission guidelines:

1. poetic spam submissions must be legitimate spam (email or comment), whose poetic quality glows through its spamminess
2. you may submit spam snippets, rather than the enitre spam message
3. you may reformat the linebreaks etc.
4. you may NOT add or remove or rearrange words
5. all poetic forms (sonnets, haiku, free verse, etc) are accepted
6. if you wish to be credited, please include your name and URL

Here is a “haiku spam”:

Have you ever hoped
to have a expensive Watch?
We have the soulition

another short poem:

The cells
in the
Corpora Cavernosa
are filled with blood
Until an erection
is a-
chieved.

A great idea, that I believe will soon become viral — I expect it to be on digg or reddit very soon.
