Dave Barry On Spammers And How Useful The Internet Is
from the thanks-Dave dept
The latest Dave Barry column is an amusing look at how useful the internet is thanks to spam and internet porn. He points out that he now spends approximately half of his day deleting email or inadvertantly showing porn to his two year old daughter.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I love Dave Barry (and I am Canadian)
I and a couple of friends used to read Dave Barry aloud, passing the book on when we could no longer speak from laughing. It was a great deal of fun.
My favorite book is Dave Barry Does Japan, which contains one of the funniest pieces on "classical arts" that I've ever read ("Somebody stab him again!").
Ah, the memories :)
