The future of spam?

Hey all,

This idea just kinda came to me....Where are spam and adds going to be next? I have a NexTel cell phone and they are already sending me text messages with "special offers" in them and then charging me $0.15 a message for them. Anywho, where do you think they will be next?

I was thinking possibly on the POST screen, in the BIOS configuration screen. Painted on the highway. Watermarked into blank paper. In our dreams (lol from the futurama episode).

I got hip to that text messaging from the gate years ago. A tech radio show host was the first kid on the block with one. His first messages were spam. I don't have text messaging.

I knew that silly gerbil man. Thats why I said spotlights, so instead of paying a whole bunch to have a plane in the air, you can just light up a big ole spotlight like the Batman call sign.

BTW, Super Gerbil, do you have one of those call signs when help is needed?

nah, it'll be in the third gen rfid chips....the ones that are similar in concept to the new orgasmatron, lol....they will release endorphins etc while stimulating your synapses with ads etc. They will put spam out of biz....more similar to those virtual chamber things in minority report.

They are already hard at work making the RFID chips small enough to fit in a salt shaker so when you salt your fries, they got 'ya! They will send pleasure sensations to your brain when you walk by one of the "subscriber" items, and you will go in the store and buy it!
