Spam Tastes Gross

Degradation—and illegality—in your in-box

Share this story

IT’S a disgusting topic, and one that most people would rather turn away from—which is just how the pornographers like it, of course. They would rather we just shuddered and threw up our hands. This goes for all pornography, but I am concerned for the moment with the kind that arrives by e-mail, cluttering and blighting your in-box.

How’s your e-mail been lately? Mine’s been pretty foul. I get between five and ten porno e-mails a day. Others get upwards of 50—through no fault of their own, mind you. Let me provide some choice recent samples from my in-box. This isn’t “nice” porn; it isn’t pretty ladies and men posing on European beaches. It’s sick stuff, with a very heavy emphasis on children, incest, and bestiality.
