BBtv: S.P.A.M. Theater, Vol. III, "Love Song of Kseniya"

Xeni Jardin at 7:00 am Tue, Apr 22, 2008

Kindle

Boing Boing tv presents a new installment of "Spam Theater," in which we bring to dramatic life actual, unadulterated spam emails we've received -- word for word, exactly what plopped in our in-box.

Today, a classic Romance Scam enticement from the fictional spamtress "Kseniya," written in mad heroine prose worthy of a Tennessee Williams play. Voiced by Xeni Jardin, who received the message.

In part two of today's episode, '80s electrobeats and word salad merge as one.

Link to Boing Boing tv post, with discussion, downloadable video, full text of the actual spam email from "Kseniya," and photo and video credits.

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.
