SPAM POETRY: The return

[Spontooneous]

Today's mail brought this opus from one Macey Kelvin, entitled "Is It Funny?"

Me friend rock live. Watch just use. The saw even two serve,

wood. Wave try way. Cross did fight I us. My many, ago true.

Cover and, position. This just if soldier insect. Car river

find. Square through ever late, the job. Wish list an. Think,

about object, high, finger ocean. Fast might father. Window with

better wish few say.

[Spontooneous]

Life, symbol engine, space ball sleep. Whole farm, top. Probable

table, pattern do. Dark, would, depend. Why page, other exercise

city. Section ready were, table wash. Indicate ear, cry. These

gold, why, triangle so. Road sand, door. Of, hot, look

character, roll minute. Fell old, their could as. Many, no your.

So, does anybody know why the fuck we all get this shit in our e-mail boxes every day???

I can understand the spam that's selling stuff -- but these "spam poetry" things, I get probably half-a-dozen a day, most without any links or attachments at all.

What's the point???

[Spontooneous]

Here's a fairly cogent explanation, copped from kuro5hin.org:

All this is because when Bayesian filtering started becoming popular, spam mail generators starting writing code to generate nonsense that looked like English. This was done using various methods, including Markov chain nonsense generation systems - involving simply looking through a piece of text, and analyse which words follow which other words. For example, in this article the word "this" is followed by the words "is", "was" and "article". Once you've done that, pick a word at random to start (e.g. "This"), then pick one of the next options (e.g. "is"), and repeat until bored. A sample bit of text from this article could read:

"Done using a word at random to have a sample bit of spam mail generators starting writing code to have a sample bit of text from this is a marvellous...."

Not perfect sense, but it's difficult to automatically distinguish from English.

nothing is said

that so

as to

where we go

as to who

as we go

as across, beyond,

passed through

another river sky

off

where no winds touch

where words unspoken

float unheard

empty go

from it all each

sped beyond whisper

away finally

Mine white ipaq sleeps.

Her smart ipaq sleeps as soon as the hairy exam book sleeps.

His brothers red sony falls.

Our odd shaped ipaq makes sound.

Any purple wine falls.

Our children stupid

spoon lies while mine fancy paper stands-still.

His bluish sofa adheres.

Her daughters round house is thinking.

Don't say you don't have enough time.

You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. H. Jackson Brown.

Don't you hate running carelessly?

Don't you practice dancing as often as possible?

Err, yes?

Been a while since I even dared look at Spam poetry, but with a newer virus killer, I thought I would take a chance again. Here's a pretty good one.
