According to this page OptusNet has gotten itself on spews.com blacklist, potentially causing issues for a large percentage of Australian Internet users."

    Maybe optusnet should try and do a better job at bringing joustice to spam throwers

    Yes, I agree that skewering spammers with long pointy sticks is a great idea.

    The new logo is a pig made of SPAM. Why can't you see that? Personally I think it's better as it's slightly more bizarre than the all-too-obvious can of spam. Actually, they should rotate the various things the spam is made out of - pig, squirrel, sponges, Steve Ballmer, etc.
