Recent YouTube Finds
In between designing and brainstorming I usually shoot over to youTube so I can turn my brain into mush for a few moments. Its hard to avoid anyways since everyone in the office is on it too. Hey we are online advertisers so we have to be. Anyways here are some fun youTube finds.
The Origins of Spam
Everything Monty Python is good. The word on the street is this is where the word spam, that annoying stuff that shows up in your inbox, came from. The say the word spam over 300 hundred times I have been told.
When fads get destructive
AN EMO SPIDER-MAN! That I had to see that and did. Of course they missed the the definition of emo just like this news cast did. Emo has nothing to do with any of this. If you want the real definition go here. Of course, of all places, only Utah would worry about something as stupid as this.

Man, I wish I knew or remembered why the British are so crazy about spam. I know there is a story behind it. Maybe because it use to be so cheap and that was all they could afford during all the wars. I remember eating it as a little girl, but then we were poor too. I can’t look at a can of spam without laughing. It has been around forever, because I am actually almost that old. (Except that Justin’s father is even older!) Just like that last package of —oh what is the name of that Hostess treat that is yellow and has the white cream in the middle that everyone passes around and never eats? Or like that famous fruit cake at Christmas time.
Anyway I tried to count how many times Monty says spam, but he says it so fast I gave up at 23. Good luck chum.
