We'll Always Have Paris

NP: Beck, Modern Guilt

I'm a little worried about what sort of comment spam this might attract, but I'm fascinated by the sheer volume of news stories coming out about one Ms. Paris Hilton, at least according to my spam folder at work. Some of my favorites:

  • Construction work begins on Paris Hilton
  • Cristiano Ronaldo Disses Paris Hilton "Um Louro Mudo Feio!"
  • John McCain To Paris Hilton: "Cosmo, bayatch!"
  • Naked Paris Hilton in Jail, Added to Satirical Headline Instead of Joke.
  • Nicole Richie ready to check into the Hilton Suite at Lynwood
  • Paris Hilton Becomes Mormon -- Marries Paparazzi
  • Paris Hilton changes Amen to Gaymen
  • Paris Hilton Endorses Ron Paul
  • Paris Hilton Lands Leading Role in New Broadway Musical Production
  • Paris Hilton Starts Large Hadron Collider Today
  • Paris Hilton Vows Not To Write Book Until She Reads One First
  • Paris Hilton's ingrowing toenail was life-threatening: Sherrif Lee Baca
  • Paris Hilton's Release Monday, Neighbors Brace for Impact
  • Paris Hilton: The Day I Found Out Gary Glitter Is My Dad
  • Scooter Libby heads for Twin Towers' Paris Hilton Suite
  • Taliban say Nicky Hilton Hotter Than Paris Hilton

What genuinely intrigues me is that my work spam folder looks qualitatively different than my home spam folder. I'm guessing it's because my home spam originates from lists of actual e-mail addresses, from back when I didn't know about concealing your address on USENET or on the Web. My work spam, on the other hand, most likely comes from spammers who blast out to everything they can come up with under a certain domain. Apparently, they have different aesthetics.
