I Love Bacon… But this is Weird
I get a nice bit of spam here on the site. As I said the other day, most of it is absolute garbage. I know that a mere week or so ago I said I got the spam comment to end them all, but I’ve got to tell you, what you’re about to see absolutely takes the cake. Intrigued? Keep reading.
On the 2nd of October my inbox rang in a new email from someone named Rebecca. The spam(?) that was contained is basically an attempt at viral marketing with absolutely no apparent purpose. The email, in its entirety, now follows:
Hey Justin,

Giving you any Halloween costume ideas? I was thinking this or Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

I can’t tell what the purpose of this is at all. I can’t tell if it’s a product or someone just trying to get internet famous. While I was at PAX, there was a guy in a bacon suit that looked a lot like this one hocking Bacon Salt, but I’m not sure if this is related.
I’ll let you be the judge. If you’ve got any idea what this is all about, let me know in the comments. And if you’re Rebecca, please tell me what is up. Thanks.

Too weird. It wasn’t me, but I do think it’s funny.
