Internet Culture

I have to give props to this spammer. This particular email got around Gmail's usually stellar spam filtering by using ASCII art consisting of random numbers to get his message across. Effective, but I'm still not buying anything from them, nor are they going to get any free advertising from me, so I've obliterated their URL.

Perhaps you didn't know, but NBC is "delaying" certain Olympic events so that they can air them during US prime time. What this means is that Americans who rely on TV as their only source of Olympic coverage find out about exciting wins up to 8 hours after it actually happens. Now unless you happen to be one of the 8 people left in the US who don't use the internet, it's kind of hard to avoid news of the Olympics.
