Spam is evil, but being a combination of sexually inappropriate, always improbable and unintentionally hilarious, it has inspired many. My favorite post about spam — sex spam — was Eros Blog’s Sex Spam Subject Lines. Which is why I think Breadpig’s Spam Fortune Cookies in the XKCD store are made of WIN. So here’s what you do: invite your sex-positive nerd friends for dinner, order Chinese, and when everyone’s glazed over stuffed with tasty noms obsessively checking their status updates, bust out the Spam Fortune Cookies. Your friends will ROFL.
Most of the time, fortune cookies come across as spam subject lines anyway. Breadpig just did what came naturally. They took emails probably saying things like “dont look stupid ensure your potence” and “U decide your penis length!” and put them in delicious cookies. Meta never tasted so good.
While you’re in their store, check out the awsum LOLcat refrigerator magnets: it’s a breadpig project where “100% of profits donated to the SF/SPCA for rescuing stray dogs and cats so they may one day become LOL-ified.”
Got one once that said:
“help I’m being held captive in a Chinese fortune cookie factory”
A week ago, I was at a Chinese restaurant at Taraval. I never thought I could get a sinful fortune cookie until I cracked open one while eating an orange slice. The fortune cookie said, ‘Eat her until she cries ‘no more’. Whether or not it was done as a joke, it had me smiling while eating the rest of my fried tofu.
I got a (regular) fortune yesterday that read: Food is sex. I swallowed the cookie and said, ok.
