It is funny that there are words like “spam” and the different meanings this word can have…
First at all I associate spam with something to eat and that’s exactly what a lot of Koreans do every single day. They like “Boodaejigae” for example. It is almost like a soup with vegetables and kimchi … and some spam in it. It used to be very popular in Uijungboo where the US military used to have a base. So apparently after the Korean war there were many places that offered spam in this or other ways.
Spam is nowadays also something really annoying. Spam is another word for all those mails mulling in my mailbox, waiting to be deleted. Spam are massmails sent by some people who think that they could make money by sending mails to millions of people advertising for some stupid things. Maybe they do actually make some money… but in some cases I really doubt it. Of course it’s also the wrong doings of many server administrators who do not protect their mail servers from relaying mails.
I just counted today my spam folder and I had 1337 spam mails within 24 hours. I do hope that the politicians will develop some kind of law against those spammers as I’m certain that they take quite a bit of the bandwidth of the internet these days…
