Brand New Contest...Spam Poetry!!

Win a $50 Gift Card to iTunes!

This one might actually be less popular than the patent contest, but what the hell...I'm going for it! The idea behind Spam Poetry is that the random length of words meant to battle past your spam filters can sometimes align themselves into lines approaching literary value (I guess it's not so much the infinite monkeys in a room as it is the infinite number of spam bots...). Scan your Spam, find the most beautiful passage of Spam Gibberish and sent it along. The most artistic, beautiful, whacked-out passage wins a $50 gift card to i-Tunes...now that's beautiful!

Send your Spam Poetry to podcast@lodebearing.com with the subject line: Spam Poetry. We'll read the anthology online after the contest!

Good luck!

Congrats to Zoe Gillenwater for the winning Patently Obvious entry!
Zoe's Scope-Creep patent is a thing of beauty, the $50 i-Tunes gift card is on the way!
