Take the Geek Shui Living SPAM Poll!

November 16, 2009 - By Justin E. Gehrke

SPAM. It used to be a word that referred only to a food product made by Hormel. Monty Python’s gracious intervention catapulted it to a food with cult-like status. In recent years, though, it is also a word that has become synonymous with large amounts of unsolicited and unwanted email. An overload of either kind of SPAM can cause system congestion (of different types, of course). Both are more easily consumed, depending upon how we handle it. The similarities pretty much end there. Thinking about the subject, though, the ever-curious geeks at Geek Shui Living wondered. Are there people who might actually prefer SPAM emails over the edible kind? Not ones to leave statistically calculable data in question, Geek Shui living put together a poll. Take a few minutes. Compare their merits. Then, let us know by voting for the type of SPAM you prefer. Though we can imagine what they’ll look like, we won’t let that stand in the way of the critical thinking process. The results will tell the true story!
