Rep. Bill Jones Thinks Spam is "Innovative"

GMontag writes "Wired is running this story:Candidate: Spam in Every Pot about candidate-for-governor Bill Jones' spam campaigning. The most telling quote: "Jones spokesman Darrel Ng said the e-mail wasn't spam, commonly defined as unsolicited commercial e-mail. Ng instead classified Jones' non-commercial mass-mailing as an "innovative way to use the Internet.'" Another interesting item: "An examination of the e-mail sent out by the Jones campaign revealed forged headers. The e-mail, purportedly sent from an MSN.com address, was actually routed through the server of an elementary school in Chonnam, Korea.""

    So what exactly were they going for, by targeting my "voter demographic"?

    Well, you know how the hispanic swing vote is proving crucial in National politics? It turns out that in State politics, they're focusing more on capturing the vote of celebrities whose poop tastes like candy".

    Who would have thought?
