I Feel Like Emailing This to 5 Million Strangers...

Email spam--those unsolicited, unwanted, unbelievable and sometimes creepy messages--have been around 30 years, according to a recent National Public Radio story. To some MC101 students, spam is hard to think of as mass communication, perhaps in the same way that it is hard to think of a cockroach as an animal.

But somewhere there is someone who is REALLY lonely who actually reads his/her email spam.
