Nice - there's definitely a NewsRevue song in there somewhere.

Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, beautiful spam.
 
The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

1984

Oh yeah. I forgot that "spam" was named after a comedy song.

I don't think Spam has been funny since about 1976.

Meat, then song, then internet phrase.

Now this is true, the biggest consumers of spam
are ex-cannibals on a remote island in the pacific.

Like in life, a map is only useful if you know
where you are, and where you want to go.

Yes and like life 98% of it is obscured by a staple.

And like life women can't read them.

And like like they can never be folded away quite right.

And like life they're a bit big and annoying, and you look it a tit reading one.




Do they work?
