Code spam?

Posted in Politics on May 12, 2008 by David Edwards

I received my first spam in the form of code today. Weird.

CONST
   usa;

VAR
   clinton,obama;

BEGIN
   REPEAT
       florida;
       michigan;
   UNTIL primaries=correct;
END.

Like most Clinton supporters, their lack of preparation shows. For example, in this code clinton has the same value as obama, and neither are used.

Having the usa be a constant sounds noble, but is pretty depressing too, depending on which aspects of the usa they’re referring to. The presidency? The people? No, no, I’m sure it’s the, “Clinton should win GodDammit-ness” of the usa which should remain constant.

I got this one too. I don’t really understand its value as spam, though. What are they selling? The Florida and Michigan primaries? I’m not buying.

That’s too bad because I think you can have a florida election for a few million…pretty good deal!
