Burroughs Meets Spam

   Thu, March 1, 2007 - 3:25 PM
We were talking in the Cyberpunk tribe about how William Burroughs influenced William Gibson. Then I noticed this spam in my inbox that is a perfect example of the Burroughs/Gysin cut-up method at work -- it's like computer-generated cyberpoetry that covers current events, the fleeting nature of celebrity, and even a Burroughs-ian ending with a dash of self-depreciating homoerotic sexuality! There are also some great Joycian invented hybrid words and misspellings that create double meanings. Even the title is rife with meaning and humor!

I wish all spam were this interesting.

Ha! Excellent notion.

Funny, I was just talking about the Gibson -Burroughs connection with someone the other day, and now I run across this.
