“It isn’t a parody account and it doesn’t tell jokes”I disagree. There might have been a spambot at some point in the past, but these updates are far too… curated to not be intentionally selected.

Well, by definition if it’s a spambot tweet it came from a spambot, bot’s aren’t people.

Ok, stupid question: are all spambot tweets written by software programs? It seems incredible that random sentences could be so serendipitously awesome.

So, stupid question: are all spambot tweets written by software programs? Or is an actual person writing these?

Reminds me of the Hybrid in Battlestar Gallactica. Maybe she was just spouting spam all along…

One of my happiest twitter moments (which isn’t saying much really; still) was when horse_ebooks followed me. Made my weekend.

Why are articles about spammy/lulzy Twitter accounts so bloody l-o-n-g? They’re like the anti-Twitter. (ADHD, what’s that?)

I get enough of it in retweets, but it IS bloody genius. We’ve found our infinite monkeys I guess.

Definitely could be the #2 account on Twitter, but in my opinion nobody can top @DadBoner:

It’s so accidentally whimsical, in exactly the same sort of way email spam is whimsical and magical.
