Spam-O-Gram Spam, the precooked meat product, has become a part of our pop culture since it was first introduced in 1937. The blue canned ham represents the "ubiquitous and inescapable" thanks to a Monty Python sketch, and has now come to mean all those unwanted emails that deluge our in-boxes.
Why just this morning I received more than 45 emails alone from Restoration Hardware. Forty-five and counting as they keep pouring in and I can’t delete them fast enough. I don’t know if their account was hacked or they are experimenting with a true advertising blitz, but either way, I am unsubscribing with the hopes of it stopping.
And since I have unsubscribed to that one, it has inspired me to consider the other unnecessary emails I receive and how many thousands are stored in my data bank.
Speaking of banks, my new rule of thumb? I believe the ratio or equation should be that we have more dollars than emails. Why haven’t I deleted them before, what, am I saving them for a rainy day?
Whoo hoo, I’m clearing out my electronic clutter. Thank you Restoration Hardware for this end of year gift.
