The Onion News Network posts a series of online satirical news reports mocking events around the world to prove a deeper point. This particular report touches on the hated thing that shows up in your inbox, “spam.” The report pretending “spam” is an export of a foreign country known as “KOY4GOFF” is a mock economic trade report. It argues how the U.S. government’s sanctions against its Koy4Goff are angering the countries citizens. Looking at the layer 2 argument of this report what does it really mean? Well, the main impression one gets from the piece is how silly some of these spam messages have become. The report quotes multiple citizens of KOY4GOFF who all speak in spam quotes. These people just sound goofy, for lack of a better word. These ads just turn into goofy statements that remind one of the goofy titles that fill one’s trash folder. Therefore, this only makes one wonder, why are the emails still sent out. Everyone knows what they are and only finds them annoying. Who possibly clicks on the penis enlarger pill add? Why do they still flood my inbox?
