Alex Dragulescu, a clever man if ever I saw one, has performed a near-miracle. He has taken the torrent of unadulterated swill generated by spammers and turned it into something beautiful.
Go and visit his gallery of Spam Plants to see what I mean, and make sure you take a look at some of his other inspiring work too.

Thanks jedimacfan for pointing me to Alex’s site!
Art from junk. Great.
in my country there’s a beautiful song that goes, more or less, like this:
from diamonds, nothing comes. From manure, flowers come.
It’s the worst translation in the world, I know.
Have mercy on me, reverend.
The translation may not be good but the sentiment is perfect! Thank you Phi!
Speaking of the “art” of spamming, here’s one ever-so inviting subject line from in my inbox: Better Future, wheat maggot. Yeah, I sprained my wrist rushing the mouse over to open *that* one.
Not.
