Spam, spam, spam, spam…

big brother…coming to a neighborhood near you.

@ApersonOfInterest – Like Rodney said……

You’re spamming, all right. “Spam” is simply the same message sent out to a bunch of people, unsolicited, and without regard to whether or not they want it or would benefit from it. Whether or not it’s a good message misses the point: you’re presuming to impose on us something that you think our lives would be poorer without, in as many venues as you can. Unless you’re the Apostle Paul, please give it a rest.

Was interesting the first time (comic) I saw this comment.

Now it’s a bore.

APOI – What part of “same” did you not understand?

actually, the origins of comics is with various types of illustrated parodies, satires and other visual social commentary developed as far back as the late Middle Ages in Europe (although I think the Chinese and Japanese developed something similar, but not as extensive). Once printing was invented the form expanded dramatically reaching its early modern development during the 19th Century, particularly in Great Britian (Punch, et al). The Americans basically reduced it to innane light entertainment – kind of like they do with every other art form. Happily, there are a few exceptions.
